I realize this is a niche topic, so apologies in advance.<p>In my personal experience, EHRs do not make me feel like I am doing a better job and take time away from interacting with patients (which I love).<p>Secondly, EHRs have been linked with physician burnout. http://www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-information-technology/mayo-study-links-ehrs-with-physician-burnout.html<p>There are just so many issues that I just wonder why it is not a richer area of innovation.<p>As a dermatologist, my gripes are mainly about the provider facing interface, but there are so many things to improve upon in this area alone.<p>To name a few:<p>Data entry takes forever.<p>Coming up with a longitudinal view of any specific problem requires piecing together sequential notes which takes far too long.<p>Patient access to their own charts without context sometimes leads to misunderstandings. Like documenting a finding of S.O.B. (shortness of breath)<p>And that is ignoring many other equally important perspectives.<p>So I ask: what do you perceive as the hurdles of this sector, and what would the process be to come up with EHR 2.0?
As a doc you probably have a better idea of the problem that most of us. Probably the back end has to be universal but can you make a front end tailored for a dermatologist?
