As most of my readers know, I am a computer nerd at heart. Specifically, I am very nerdy when it comes to computers in healthcare.
Well, someone got this nerd really mad.
That is a dangerous thing to do.
We will rule the world.

Hmm, so far, the doctors I’ve seen that actually use EHR seemed more efficient. I’ve seen upcoding from the non-EHR docs. From what I can tell, the system my pcp uses required him to ask me questions and questions were added on based on my answers. Don’t think that lends itself to cookie-cutter documentation… but that’s my guess.
The univ. hospital my previous doctors were at had the capabilities to utilize EHR but only one dept did among the ones I’ve been seen at. All the other dept’s had computers in the exam rooms as… paperweights.

I think that’s why they call it “Revenge of the Nerds.” Do people not realize the power we yield?
