I admit I have never been to an AC conference -- it's always too far away from me and too expensive to take time off work plus the travel expenses (when we also have to go to mandatory CME conferences). But lots of good suggestions have come up in these forums.
I've always assumed that the "meaningful use" and MIPS/MACRA hijacked the development of EMR so it really didn't make any difference what us lowly end users thought.
It seems to me like there is plenty of IT and coding talent out there -- the problem of the EMR is not a TECHNICAL problem. The problem now is that the medical system isn't for patients and doctors and nurses -- it is for executives and shareholders of the corporations.
When I started in medicine, the doctors hired the administrators.
Now the administrators hire the doctors.
Who pays the piper calls the tune.
