Looks like my EMR is having its yearly fit. Time rollbacks really irritate our EMR. Good news? For once I’m not working! HAHAHAHAHA.

Fall daylight savings is always a pain. Systems don’t like having something happen an hour later, but at the same time as something that happened an hour previous.

I’d love to hear what other people think of Blue Button. Do you think it’s great?
ED Docs spend 44% of their time entering #patient data into EMRs. That's 4000 clicks/ shift. http://t.co/o4mwLTzC1B

This stat really stood out to me. 4000 clicks/shift. That’s interesting to consider. Although, I wonder how many clicks I do every day of my job as well. I’ve always talked about how the number of clicks doesn’t matter as much as which clicks they are and how the software responds when you click. See my EMR to Piano Player analogy for more on that view.
John, you muse about how many clicks you do per day as if that were a comparable number. Imagine if someone made you use a software package that added one to two hours of work (Pointless clicks) per day without increasing your productivity (That is, you spent an extra 2 hours per day doing extra work while genrating the same income). This is known as a pay cut. It is why Doctors are up in arms.
Kevin,
I agree. In fact, I think you illustrate my point. It’s not the number of clicks that is the issue. It’s what’s accomplished with those clicks and how those clicks are implemented that matters.
