Why Aren't Doctors More Tech-Savvy?

The article does a pretty good job summing it up, actually. But there&#x27;s another huge reason: time.<p>I&#x27;m married to a physician; work tends to spill over into personal time, the demands of running a practice are real and nontrivial, and a lot of times your doctor just doesn&#x27;t have the luxury of free time to spend fiddling with computers.<p>That fiddly time is often the difference between your average tech savvy individual and a Luddite.<p>My wife is still doing her residency. She&#x27;s in her twenties, has an android phone, she likes the <i>idea</i> of Linux, and she knows there are real benefits to using an EMR system when it becomes time to start her own practice. She isn&#x27;t a Luddite.<p>But she doesn&#x27;t have time to go out and educate herself on security and technology to the point that she will be making an informed purchase. I imagine many doctors are in a similar situation.
