Interview With Randall Oates, MD, Founder of SOAPware
Dr. Oates on the core problem with the state of EHRs:
What is mainly missing is an accurate perception of reality. That is… recognition that it is nothing less than insanity to expect physicians to become data entry clerks! In the future, we are going to look at the current approaches to EMR implementation in the same fashion as we now view the practice of leeching and blood-letting of the past. Data entry should rarely be performed by clinicians! Instead, it should be done via other avenues such as the patient, medical assistants, and data gleaned from information that already exists, but is siloed into some other information system. The EMR technology, as well as changes in the practice workflows, should be used to liberate physicians from most data entry, and not increase that burden.
(Via EMR and HIPAA.)
