Paper is a miracle material. I see most clinicians finding a way out of direct data entry with jury-rigged paper work-arounds.

As per your: ...and now some offices have scibes who enter the doctors notes into the computer. Exactly - most efficient people will delegate inefficient activities.

My docs can complete a form in seconds where entry into any electronic device requires 5x the time and they have to find a surface to place the device to type into it.

Paper means never having to say oops, sorry all your data was hacked!

I tell my wife a paperless doctors office is great....as long as the electric is on.

Also where my wife works there are four doctors and they all hate the new system and fought it all the way. They would rather have the old paper charts.
