EMR problems

I was contacted today by a staffing place today -- they got my name from one of the clinics that I used to work for with transcribing into their EMR's -- but it seems as though Kaiser's EMR big computer crashed with all of the EMR data in it. They were able to recover but they are just pieces of information out there now and they need 20 people at least to give a committment to go through all of these pieces of the charts and put the charts back together. Pretty easy work but they want knowledgable people that know the parts of a medical chart, can figure out what is a lab vs x-ray, H&P vs OP note, etc. But I think that it is just funny that EMR is not the answer like it should be. I think it is like if the 10,000 + paper charts all fell off of the chart cases, all the papers fell out and mixed together -- what it would take to get them put all back together. But instead of paper we are working with paper on computer. I think you will see this happening more. For some reason the back-up did not work or crashed everything. I just did not want to commit to a 40 hour work week in the hospital on top of my other work. Guess it is quite a mess right now. But just like overseas, not everything is as good as it sounds at first.
