It is not how much technology you have, it is how you use it that matters.
Modern Healthcare Online: "In my own paperless office, I manage patients very efficiently and track outcomes data without a CCHIT-certified EMR. I tried a host of certified EMRs. They were not designed around our workflow and actually impeded patient care by needlessly tying us to the screen when we could be doing more tangible work. Many doctors like me have done tremendous work in our own practices to improve efficiency, reduce patient waiting times, provide cost-effective care, reduce error and also (unlike the VA) provide very secure portable records to patients and doctors. Because of poor-quality products that have flooded the market, many of us have resorted to designing our own software to suit our workflow and our specific needs. The proof of utility of electronic tools is a successful practice and a waiting list of patients who want to come in for consultation. It is not how much technology you have, it is how you use it that matters.
