When I was a med student all the older docs were like âwe r quitting when electronic medical records were introduced
Hospital admins told everyone that they were old, cranky & set in their ways
Young ppl bought into the tech hype
FYI
IT didnât deliver & old docs were right

These EMRs are not efficient & actually lead to less time spent with patients
Primary care physicians spent more time working in the EHR than they spent in face-to-face time with patients in clinic visits https://journals.stfm.org/familymedicine/2018/february/young-2017-0121/

These electronic health records are really expensive and over priced
One study found that the average purchase and implementation cost of an EHR was $32,606 per full time physician and maintenance costs were another $1,500 per physician per month. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/newsletter-article/cost-biggest-barrier-electronic-medical-records-implementation

âLawmakers, health care analysts, and researchers have said that health information technology, or health IT, is the best way to reduce health care costs and improve medical care but
many physicians have been reluctant to install such systems due to the cost and other concerns, such as liability issues and ensuring patient privacy and safety. Physicians also fear that insurers, rather than doctors, will realize most of the savings from health ITâ
So the people who use it say itâs not helpful & doesnât save money and the data supports it
But a bunch of ppl who think they know about healthcare say it does work
Sounds like everything in healthcare

Looks like the doctors were right and all the healthcare analysts, lawmakers & researchers were wrong https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/mariyayao/2017/04/14/your-electronic-medical-records-can-be-worth-1000-to-hackers/amp/

Hospital EHR spending projected to reach $9.9B by 2024
Despite budgetary strains from the COVID-19 pandemic, new report predicts regulatory requirements & medical-service spending growth will benefit electronic health record vendors in the years to come https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/hospital-ehr-spending-projected-reach-99b-2024

So wait electronic medical records arenât that secure, they cost a bunch of money, drive up the cost of healthcare, lead to less efficient care and less time with patients
But doctors HAVE to use them Bc itâs the law?
How does that make sense?

Even worse ask any patient their health data is held hostage as many studies have found

https://www.darkdaily.com/yale-study-finds-obtaining-personal-medical-records-from-hospitals-can-be-difficult-for-many-patients/
Data shows there were overwhelming inconsistencies in information relayed to patients regarding the personal health information [PHI] they are allowed to request, as well as the formats and costs of release, both within institutions and across institutions &
Most places are Inhibiting access for patients to their own medical records with complicated, lengthy, and costly request processes prevents patients from obtaining information that they may need to better understand their medical conditions and communicate with their physicians
So say your doctor wants to leave the shitty system and provide care to not break the law they have to use an electronic medical record
Implementing an EMR system could cost a single physician approximately $163,765.
Do you think thatâs affordable? https://www.americanactionforum.org/research/are-electronic-medical-records-worth-the-costs-of-implementation/

And make sure you pay real close attention Bc this is when things will get slippery
âAs of May 2015 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) had paid more than $30 billion in financial incentives to more than 468,000 Medicare and Medicaid providers for implementing EMRsâ
âAs of May 2015 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) had paid more than $30 billion in financial incentives to more than 468,000 Medicare and Medicaid providers for implementing EMRsâ
But read the fine print that means that actually docs didnât get money for implementing a medical record at all they only got paid if they met metrics like quality measures that CMS sets out which means that doctors who are employed or those that are part of a network might but
Regular docs in a office a small business unlikely to be able to afford 100k for an EMR
So ask yourself this the government forces these laws, but doesnât provide the money to make it happen, or the infrastructure to make it happen

Itâs 2020 thereâs a million affordable program out there that anyone can start a business today: wix, Google, etsy, Shopify , eBay, Amazon
But your doctor doesnât have the tools they need to provide good medicine Bc they must use an EMR due to the laws that are in place

Though as shown above EMRs arenât turning out to be great as for patient or doctors, they are really expensive
Now ask yourself why your only option for a doctor is by a giant retail clinic or a large company
And hopefully this thread has given you some insight into why itâs

This plus covid is just a part of what your doctor deals with & itâs effecting your health
Basically why doctors canât own their own clinic, decide how long to see you, itâs all connected
Should people that donât understand healthcare continue to make laws about healthcare?

These are important questions to ask yourself as we head into the election since healthcare is often discussed
Do you think politicians should use your health to score votes? I think the answer is no

Should your doctor be able to use new technology and not have archaic restrictive laws that donât make sense keeping them from emailing you texting you using new tech in your care?
It's not that being a doctor is a terrible profession
Its that there is no infrastructure to actually support physicians to be able to do their job
The culture doesn't support physicians
Society doesn't support physicians
So FYI don't ask where all the physicians went

There is so much bullshit & lots of powerful greedy ppl are trying to pull the wool over your eyes
Stay informed & stay vigilant Bc the bullshit is real

âEntrenched policies continue to keep software failures out of public view. Vendors of electronic health records have imposed contractual âgag clausesâ that discourage buyers from speaking out about safety issues & disastrous software installations
â & some hospitals fight to withhold records from injured patients or their familiesâ
