[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is mad at doctors. We should be mad at insurance companies and health systems.  We should be mad at the broken free market system and republicans in general.

EMRs, while good in theory and intention, were a disaster to roll out.  I’m curious how much time and money is spent implementing, maintaining and using these systems instead of focusing on the patient - a recurring complaint on this thread.

Medicine has become like everything else.  Ruined by private equity and other bored, rich AHs who are looking for a new “tech disruption” [/quote]

EMRs were a disaster to roll out because doctors and practices first did a horrible job picking systems, and then did a horrible job training their staff to use them. They made a self-fulfilling prophecy: they decided EMRs were going to be horrible, so they bought the cheapest EMRs they could find, which were obviously going to be horrible.

You really, really don't want to go back to paper charts.[/quote]
