I don't think you understand the amount of information overload that comes with medical records.
A typical medical record can contain more than 100 pages of documentation.
I've seen records that span more than 1500 pages.
While most medical records are electronic, systems do not interoperate with one another.
So, you are forced to type in relevant information from a fax into your EHR system.
Most of the pain comes with documentation necessary for dealing with billing and insurance.
In fact most of the language is super vague so that you can cover your ass if someone tries to sue you.
Disclosure: I run a start up that is working on solving a lot of these problems.
