We’ve got a great roundup of tweets this weekend. I’ve found a wide variety of tweets with some really interesting opinions and comments. Some of them were quite shocking when I read them. Others made me laugh out loud literally. I think you’ll enjoy many of them. Plus, I’ll add a bit of commentary to the tweets to add a little extra value to the tweets and the comments made in the tweets.
Let me know what you think of the weekly Twitter round up posts. I think they provide a bunch of interesting comments and perspectives. Let me know if you love them, hate them or something in between.
Not me… RT @a_singledrop: Question about T1 – wait, providers are currently compensated for the time they spend on EMR/EHRs? #hcsm

This one just made me laugh. I’m not sure all the background on the tweet, but I’m sure every doctors I know would laugh at the idea of providers getting compensated for the time they spend on EMR/EHR. I guess you could twist the EHR incentive that way, but that’s far from the same as being compensated for EHR. Unlike some, I do think there are benefits to EMR & EHR use. Although, even then I wouldn’t use the word compensation.

I disagree with this tweet putting research in the bad section. Sure, the current crop of EHR won’t realize the full possibilities in research areas, but it does provide more opportunities than paper for research.
The scribes are an intriguing solution. I think younger doctors won’t care too much for scribes in most cases. However, I think scribes could become very popular in more and more situations. It does help to preserve the physician-patient interaction.
Interoperability of EMR and Registries. Need mor incentives 2 work together. Political and Technological question @PAREXEL #ISPORdc

I still wish the EHR incentives would have been for interoperability. EHR adoption would have been a side effect of this incentive. Water under a bridge at this point.

I shared this link to a series of articles I wrote a while back. I was glad that Elin enjoyed the post and so did many others. I’m sure that those new to this blog will enjoy it too.
Sribes is a dead end. Stop this bs now before we have another version of last century generation of type writer specialists looking for a job.
It’s true that the job duration could be short for scribes. Although, I know a GYN that has to have someone in the room with him anyway, so the scribe makes a lot of sense. The person acts as scribe, nurse, and a second body to avoid liability issues.
