EMR

We had a doc that really wanted the EMR system,  he left our clinic and has this thing now.  We refer  patients to him who need his specialty and I have seen some of the stuff that comes out of his EMR system,  part of it looks pretty good and part of it is pitiful.   I agree with those who say MT's will not be needed in a few years,  almost makes me glad I am an old woman because I have enjoyed my job transcribing.
