Why We Do Need Or Do Not Need HIT Or EMR

 

Bad Fonts         Font you

Some of us may remember college, med school, and post graduate training.  I remember my handwriting deteriorating in medschool as I attempted the losing battle of taking hand written notes.

I also remember looking forward to the progression of chart notes and the time when I would write that last note, below.

There is no justice in this world!

 

EMR will have a profound negative effect on medical students, by reducing motivation to become an attending.

For those interested trainees you can obtain “bad handwriting font” for  EMR notes.
