Although we like our access on line to our electronic health records, many of us don’t like the computer sitting between the doctor and us. The doctor doesn’t like it either. ZdoggMD has several rapp videos about this issue.
“A 2013 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information discovered emergency room doctors spent an average of 44 percent of their time on data entry, compared to 28 percent on direct patient contact. This is concerning because it can make patients feel neglected. It can also lead to misdiagnoses if physicians don’t spend enough time talking to or observing the people they’re treating.”
