I can't think straight to write when a software begs to talk to me after every click. I've often wondered if that's how physicians feel with all this clinical "support." Granted, the stakes are different: a mistake on my end only means a dropped comma or problematic margins, not an injured patient. But I do wonder where the line is between "help" and "hindrance."<br /><br />The EHR simulator sounds like a great concept, and one that would assuage many of the fears people have about EHRs. I heard last year about work being done by the EPA to create accurate CG human simulations for drug testing purposes (in place of animal testing); I wonder if such a "virtual" patient would be possible for this type of thing.Michelle Whttp://www.occampm.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
