It's probably time for me to retire. I would have liked to have been a vet,but vet school is harder to get into than medical school I'm old and admit that I hate EMR's. In my case they slowed me down and frustrated me. I can't tell you how many times they would crash or freeze, and I would be on hold for tech support. I saw an emr file on a patient with a simple knee strain. It was 30 pages long. I could write a concise SOAP on that patient in 2 paragraphs. EMR in conjunction with ICD10 is a tool to extract as much money from private insurance and Medicare as possible. There are 20 major emr programs in use and they do not cross communicate.
