“Our very large and very integrated health care system is plowing ahead with EMR implementation. All the offices are gradually converting from paper charts and all the hospitals have completed the process.
As a member of one of the last offices to be converted to the EMR, I’ve had the pleasure of patients being assured that the notes were sent to me (albeit via the EMR we are not yet using). I’ve come to accept that notes which I do receive from consultants who use the EMR (or indeed their own and different EMR) will be voluminous reams of boilerplate intended to maximize reimbursement and provide optimal medical-legal protection.”
