Ehrs are for emergencies and most people come to Physician practices with non- life threatening injuries

Answer 2

Electronic health records are a newer technology, inconveniently, physicians are taught during their residency to use paper pencil charting with very little orientation to ehr. they should be instructed that ehr is available immediately and most files do not require faxing. it is also greener for the environment and takes up less space.
