During my wife's cataract surgery last year the process for the first eye went smoothly. When we arrived for the final consult on the second eye we were told the appointment might take longer than normal because they had to convert to Electronic Medical Records.
The 5 minute visit turned into an hour. Patient history questions already answered on paper forms were asked again so they could enter it directly into the computer. Instead of writing notes for later transcription the doctor had to pick up a microphone and record an audio file while we sat there.
Perhaps their implementation was an example of "worst" practices, but we were not impressed.
I wonder how many doctors will retire “early” because of these various impositions on their practice and on their profit?
