The physician is the only person allowed to enter data in a patient’s online record.

I don't think that's quite right. Scribes can enter data, for instance the doctor's narration of the patient interaction, and there are a number of firms offering that service now.

What they can't do is enter medical orders. That requires a licensed medical professional. In theory, MAs who have received a certification could enter orders, but many MA programs don't offer formal certification.

You should talk to physicians in FL. According to you they are misinformed about government regulations controlling their record keeping.

My GP told me that she had to enter the data. No one else is allowed to enter patient data!
