Why I Hate EMRs(Electronic Medical Records)
Because they make life harder, not easier like technology is supposed to do. And I'm not some Luddite who's attached to his Slide Rule and Buggy Whip. I played on one of the first "Pong" machines, modified my own AutoExec.Bat files on my State of the Art 386, and could work the GPS on an FA-18 without getting lost, but I hate EMRs. I work at different offices and everyones EMR is just different enough to make it a Pain in the Ass. And until Mr Peabody shows up with his Way-Back Machine, theres only 60 minutes in an hour, and those 15 minutes I spend f-ing with a computer program are less time I can spend with your Fibro-Myalgia. Hmm so maybe its not so bad.

I think we hire the stupid computer programmers for the hospital. The intellegent ones work for business. I took some computer languages in college and it just should not be this hard.
Brigham and Women's had a great system they made themselves 15 years ago. For Doc's to write orders and Nurses to see them on the screen. 15 years ago!!!
We totally love this movie. My husband wears an "Initech" t-shirt, and I got him his own red stapler.
now why in the world would you would you want to spend time with your patient or as my place of employment calls them, customers when you could be providing state of the art care interfacing with a computer screen? now doc it is the twentyfirst century...no more need to actually see touch or converse. every day i go to world i feel like i have been condemned to an eternity of cyberhell..mea culpa
I read your article on electronic medical records and would like to recommend that you and your readers test drive our unique solution. MyMedicalRecords.com (MMR), a Patient Health Record, put a priority on two issues that are difficult to find together in most PHR programs and EMR systems. First is ease-of-use—all your healthcare providers need is a fax machine to put all your records into your account: each is turned into a PDF image using a proprietary process, which you then file. Second is privacy and security: we have such a bulletproof system that no hackers-for-hire have ever been able to penetrate it. You can share the account with up to 10 members of your family and each one would have secondary passwords to be sure privacy is protected. We also provide a special file that can be accessed by emergency personnel, which can have your critical information, like blood type and drug allergies. MMR is also by far the most feature-rich PHR on the market and is an Integrated Service Provider on Google Health—we have everything from a drug interaction database that red flags contraindications to calendar reminders for doctor appointments and prescription refills. If anyone wants to try this out for 30 days, just use the code TRYMMR.

A Personal Health Record (PHR) is controlled by the individual who has created it and it contains information from multiple sources including various doctors, laboratories, and pharmacies. In addition a PHR should contain relevant data added by its owner such as Allergy History, Family History, and Social History.
