Since they are now basically typing up their own orders that frees up the nurses from having to do it as in the past. So why is it you can never find a nurse on a floor when you need one? They used to spend half their shift at their station scribing doctors orders now what are they doing?

Most anything government touches — it screws up.

Put the highest paid guy in the clinic to work clattering at a keyboard. Sounds like a model of efficiency to me. /s

The government is being a good gestapo and wants the doctor spending less time taking care of you and spending more time writing the government about every medical issue they need to know about you.
From there you get lifestyle change demands.
From there you get early self abortion like the movie “Soylent Green”.
Lastly the government might decide to take you and it is just according to them your time to go.
OBAMACARE!

Lots of health care providers are switching from paper to the computer. Paper costs money,takes up a lot of space and you have to have a company pick up old files and shred them. Some doctors are using the computer program "DRAGON." The doctors Medical Assistant picks up the slack and now some offices have scibes who enter the doctors notes into the computer.

The whole point of the medical electronic records system was to collect data on Americans and have it all in one place.

We need a good old fashioned physician’s revolt. Start with practices that charge fees based on actual cost not inflated by government, insurance and lawyers.

You apparently have not noticed that the gov does not allow nurses to do data entry. Physicians are now spending literally half of their time filling out forms on the government’s data base.

“emergency-room doctors spend 43 percent of their time entering electronic records information, 28 percent with patients.”
“Medicare payments will be cut, by 1 percent this year, rising to 3 percent (potentially 5 percent) in subsequent years.”
EHRs reduced efficiency making a reduction in pay of up to 5% relatively less than the cost of reduced efficiency especially when you consider the start up costs, maintenance costs and compliance costs of EHRs.
The idea of EHRs is to centralize health care delivery into ever larger institutions and organizations, advance the surveillance state, make treatment conditioned on obeisance of the government direcetive (ie force inoculations as a condition for other treatment), and as a means to punish non-conformers (ie psychiatric diagnoses).
This is the totalitarian state. What is not forbidden must be made compulsory.

Sadly, I wouldn’t doubt this to be on the agenda!
Let’s be honest, in this day and age, all the politicians, pundits, and the media need is just a HINT of an issue and they will RUN with it: Reid and Romney’s tax returns, SNL & Palin (Russia comments), Cochran vs. McDaniel, etc...
Truth be damned, they will run it into the ground and make it the truth to most of the LIV! So, if there is ANYTHING in your health file that could be used against you - THEY WILL!
I see it coming!! I know the HIPAA laws say it is illegal, but it was illegal for the IRS to share information with Congress and the WH - how did that work out for those Tea Party companies?

Ever since our medical group was “bought out by the local hospital” and a new “on-line medical records system” was implemented a year ago, my PCP has become a clerk typist. As bad as it is, seeing him take up at least 50% of an appointment (which is 20 minutes) pounding away on the computer that is now a main feature of all of the exam rooms, the other problem is all the errors that are put in my personal record. I have had to insist that incorrect diagnoses that show up be removed. Seems as though the game plan is to show that you have an ever-growing list of maladies with the end game being “you are too far gone to be worthy of further treatment.” The whole thing is insidious.

I recently had a mind blowing experience.
I changed doctors due to a retirement. Both are affiliated with different,very good, Boston area hospitals.
I signed giving permission to my former doctor to send the records to my new doctor.
The records were going about 10 miles.
They were sent to my new doctor by a company called HealthPort in Alpharetta,GA.
MA,to GA,and back to MA.
This may be old news to some but I was furious.
A private company in Georgia has all of my health info.
