Healthy,

Do not blame all of your decreased productivity to AC, blame it on the EMR in general. Along with the insistence that doctors use an EMR came other albatrosses...Meaningful Use, patient portals, document this crap, document that crap. The medical chart is no longer a simple tool. It, in many instances, is the conductor now directing us on how to practice medicine. That uses up a lot of physician productivity.
