Why Doctors Are Reluctant To Embrace Electronic Medical Records
Small doctor’s offices across America are accustomed to doing business in a certain way. When a patient checks in, the administrative staff pulls out a file folder containing a medical history, a record of doctor’s visits, test results, and physician’s scrawl jotted down about the patient’s history. When the doctor begins his or her consultation, it’s easy for them to thumb through the pages and get up to speed on your medical history.
But small offices are under increasing pressure to scan these files and convert them to electronic medical records (EMRs) and make paper files a thing of the past. In fact, President Obama has set a goal for every American to have an EMR by 2014.
