- reaperducer 4y agoThat's because thanks to computers, clipboards are no longer needed. But the whole point of this thread is that the computers aren't getting the job done. So why not use something has been proven to work, rather than something that is showing that it doesn't work?
- corrral 4y agoIt's my strong suspicion that the majority of computerized replacements for human and pen-n-paper predecessors are either a wash in terms of productivity, or actually make things worse, and it only looks like the computer revolution was a huge boon for productivity because it improved a few areas a ton.
- marcosdumay 4y agoComputers are great at replacing those filling cabinets, and when you need to track a single piece of information over a lot of people or a lot of time. Other uses in an office aren't as transformative.
- YeGoblynQueenne 4y agoSorry, clearly I confused you. I was being sarcastic. I should have made that obvious (e.g. with /s etc).

Transcribing it into the EMR on the computer later takes about 45 minutes. Some of our peer services use tablets in the field. I hope we never switch over. Besides the nightmare of the horrible UI (because that's always the case with enterprise software), if the batteries die or you try to use them outdoors in bright sun, you're hosed.
