Doctors, Patients, Old and New

February 2, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

There’s this tension that I pick up on when I talk with patients.  It’s the fantasy of the new and the old. It’s the fantasy of the physician encounter where a doctor will look at us and never to a screen.  We insist on all of the affordances of the digital age with the human connection of a time gone by.  We want an intensely human connection but we want ...

Book Notes: Meaningful Use and Beyond

November 20, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 3 minutes

I don’t know much about health IT and I know less about meaningful use.  So when Meaningful Use and Beyond - A Guide for IT Staff in Health Care (O'Reilly Media) by Fred Trotter and David Uhlman was released last month I bit the bullet and dove in.  I looked at this book as my personal crash course in a subject area I had been avoiding over the past months.  This was ...

November 9, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Cut and Paste Medicine

October 29, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I saw it begin to happen in the '90's.  Residents came to rounds with their daily notes produced on a word processor.  The notes were impressive.  Legible, lengthy and meticulously detailed at first glance. Then I started to notice a pattern.  The impressive notes began to look very much alike.  The thorough exam varied little from patient to patient.   And ...

Transient EPIC Disconnect

July 6, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

I spent the entire 4th of July weekend covering the inpatient GI service at Texas Children's Hospital.  Our inpatient medical records were recently transitioned to Epic.  I rounded the entire weekend without picking up a pen.  Amazing, really. Here's what I've noticed when working with EMRs: I find myself focused on the technology.  Pulldowns, data, pasting, ... Continue Reading about Transient EPIC Disconnect
