- The current electronic medical record is not designed to accommodate physician workflows, but to optimize billing. This results in a time-consuming note-taking process that often results in doctors accessing charts after hours.
- The challenges of successfully integrating the latest technology in healthcare range from cybersecurity and operating system compatibility to employee training and job responsibilities.
