Why Doctors Would Hate The Best EHR in the World

January 31, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

If you got together the best user experience professionals in Silicon Valley and invested billions into the creation of The Best EHR in the World, doctors would still hate it. They would complain that The Best EHR in the World is destroying medicine and hurting patients. Long essays in the Sunday New York Times would wax nostalgic about the good old days before the ...

Physician Notes: Access is Only as Good as the Notes Themselves

January 30, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

If you spend time nosing around medical charts you’ll find that the quality of physician notes vary as much as the doctors who creates them. Even as physicians we sometimes have difficulty understanding what’s happening or where a patient is headed in their care. An informed patient begins with clean information It got me thinking of OpenNotes. This is a tremendous ... Continue Reading about Physician Notes: Access is Only as Good as the Notes Themselves

It seems Epic’s Judy Faulkner is killing the EHR. In a recent HealthCareIT News piece she explained 3 reasons why the EHR is giving way to the Comprehensive Health Record, or CHR. “The first is that there’s information that’s not in the EHRs now.

Doximity Dialer App Lets Doctors Dial Undercover

September 26, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s a daily problem for me: I’m paged to a patient’s number. And before I dial I enter *67 to make sure I don’t get a 2 AM call back. The patient never picks up because they think I’m a telemarketer. I then leave a message telling them that I’ll be calling back. I stop the game of cat-and-mouse by calling back two minutes after I’ve left a message knowing that ... Continue Reading about Doximity Dialer App Lets Doctors Dial Undercover

Why do we use them? The response by the health infosphere was predictable: Why can't doctors just get with the program? And why are they so behind the times? It's not that complicated. And it's not because we don't read Wired. Just the fax EHRs don't talk to one another. We ... Continue Reading about Fax Machines: Why Doctors Use Them
