“Not just doctors are buried under compliance paperwork”
I work at a community non-profit hospital. Due to the mandatory EHR and O-care compliance issues we have added staff...IT people! not doctors, not nurses....computer people to try to make our computers compliant. You wouldn’t
believe the numbers of “new reporting” we are required to send the gov’t. Anyone who thinks EHR information is private needs their head examined!
What is EHR?
I know that in our industry probably at least 1/3 of all man-hours are somehow DIRECTLY consumed by government regulations. Probably only about a tenth of that is even remotely useful in protecting the public interests.
