Awesome Richard! This is one of the most salient points made on threads regarding EHR software. This is the nightmare that most, if not all, providers have often. And for several reasons. Patients HATE when the doctor is looking at the screen and not them, and the information they have on screen is only as good as the data entry was. I've worked both ways, and have stayed with paper. I know we'll have to eventually start to put all the info into an EHR program, but I will retain the paper backup.
doctors are not going to hand over their livelihood to someone working out of their suitcases. The doctors are looking for full services, including credentialing, coding advice, meaningful use help, HIPAA compliance etc. Every time we have been contacted, it is because the doctor needed help with something other than just billing.
