forperfecthealth on 02 May 13In my previous article - "What is wrong with current Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) systems?" I noted that the first problem a physician has with EHR systems is lack of overview of the patient. You'd think that a patient's life, from a doctor's viewpoint looking at the EHR, would present a timeline of medical problems that either are solved, or are ongoing. What we get in most electronic healthcare records systems is an evenly thick layer of prose stretching from a variable point in the far past to some point in the near past, without any bumps or changes of scenery.
