"EHRs are a great idea. But we should have allowed the market to convince physicians of their usefulness. Instead, we have companies developing products to impress administrators. We have EHRs focused on billing rather than patient care. We have EHRs that do not help physicians care for patients. We have EHRs that get between the physician and the patient."

 

Robert M. Centor, MD, discusses the problem with EHR adoption in a blog post on db's Medial Rants.
