Will Obamacare Be An Epic Train Wreck

How can we create a better EMR? What's wrong with the EMRs you use?

You mean besides the fact that since switching, we have measured, on average, 1.6 more hours per day struggling with them?You mean creating a computerized medical record - yet not being able to do even the simplest and most basic search on the information in it (heck, even Quora has that!)?You mean when an area of the record you have sold us hasn't been developed yet, so the company calls it "customizable" in the hope you will develop it for them?You mean not being able to use phrases and sentences any more to convey the subtleties of real-life Medicine because everything has to fall into little boxes?You mean using a product that has never been tested before being sold, and a concept - that EHR must, by definition, be better - never proven?You mean running a Code by computer instead of shouting the injection you want to give to save this guy's life in the patient's room and the nurse just getting it?Probably resulting from the fact that most EHR companies (with the notable exception of Epic) are run by MBA's, lawyers and investment bankers, all trying to make a buck on Obamacare?
