“he said over 50% of the data they want to capture is totally unnecessary for managing ones health!”
It’s much worse than just that. It’s so cumbersome that what’s being put in is often garbage, and they have grandiose plans to ‘mine’ this erroneous data and use it to track and guide health care (and policy no doubt).
My doc (older) is sticking with paper file folders, apparently EMR is only mandated if taking Medicare or Medicaid/MediCal patients. He specializes in worker’s comp on the job injuries & school athletics physicals with some “regular” patients thrown in.
I’ll second that. 95% of what is in the chart is canned verbage.
How many times do you thing that 12 point ROS was really done?
