Yeah, for me the EMR makes it easier. It's the networking and obsession I have with it which makes my personal life worse.
Bert, what you are saying echoes our experience to date, and my continuing concerns. It is not AC that confounds us, it is the network, printers, and total environment. There is enough electronic "stuff" happening at any given time that we are still still troubled by distractions caused by the computers. All of us in my group have found something we missed medically because we were distracted by something or another related to electronic recordkeeping. Gratefully, those issues have been small, but scary.
We have now been on AC for one year, and I cannot blame this on inexperience any longer. I am not sure what else to do to turn this beast into a servant rather than an icon that must be worshipped properly to be allowed to do my job.
