- IG_Semmelweiss 5y agoEMRs have been a handout of a fistful of dollars from actual doctors, to the software industry. Its insane that anyone would think that politicians could be wise and mandate something that an entire industry rejected, and have never needed since the advent of medicine. Result. Doctors spend time on screens instead of, seeing patients. The emr is basically an accounting system for insurances to receive claims in a format they can process. Anyone that tells you otherwise is making money from selling an emr to you or doesnt work in healthcare
