Years ago, physicians had a lot of autonomy. Mostly, we worried about taking care of patients: what were the best treatments and best ways to manage patients’ care. But now that the government has thrust so much regulation on us, physicians are forced to be somewhat sidetracked, entering information into electronic medical records (EMRs) – because that is how we get paid. The way that EMRs are designed is not very intuitive, and the whole process of reporting is very cumbersome and laborious – there is just so much more meaningless work than before, and this has led to high levels of frustration among physicians.
