Current information technology is lacking an efficient and comprehensive solution to everyday care for the healthcare provider and patient. For many physicians, there is a forced acceptance of the electronic medical record (EMR), but there is a general lack of satisfaction with the EMR by providers. I was once told that MD really stood for “Make Do” with what you have. That is certainly what I have had to do with the electronic record. Patients see the physician-patient relationship transform, with a computer that takes time away from the patient. This results in a skewed patient encounter causing more time to be spent entering extraneous data than having direct patient interaction.
