“You are wrong. Most physicians hate EMR”

Bush didn’t decide on the content of the EMR.

People within the medical establishment decided on that. They could have created an EMR consisting of a blank page with the ability to add attachments and a few other things. They could have given the physicians the freedom to put anything they want into the EMR. They could have assumed the physicians would do a good job without guidance.

As a practical matter, certain requirements would make sense such as giving the codes for the procedures they perform.

The medical industry which includes practicing physicians, the insurance companies and all the rest have created a gravy train for themselves with outrageous costs to patients. If you want to complain about a bureaucratic mess, don’t forget that you made it, and don’t forget to enjoy those fat paychecks.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The cost of a EMR is in the millions, which made physicians have to merge with hospitals because they could not afford it.
The EMRs were created by tech companies with minimal input by physicians. EPIC is one company with the biggest share of the EMR market. No matter how much input medical personnel give EPIC in my organization, it still is a clunky mess.
You are an ignorant person, Medical records are much more than a blank page with attachments. They require: orders, labs, future orders, allergies, vital signs , past and future office visits, procedures, billing, nurses notes etc. Hundreds of details that you have no idea of.
Take your jealousy and go back to your trailer park.
