The sad state of EMR in 2016
As of July 2016, the most current version is getting better but its still rough around the edges.
Touch ID now works more reliably.
The but in which text entry fields would mysteriously have no keyboard — thats been fixed.
But its still death by a thousand small cuts. Theres simultaneously too much and far too little in this app.
The user interface is woefully cluttered.
I cant tap and copy the phone numbers of my patients. Please know that we always dial *67 when calling patients from our personal phones. Either include this by default or let us copy the phone number. Currently I have to memorize the number or switch back and forth between apps to dial it. Thats just silly.
Why cant I view upcoming appointments for my patients?
How about being able to view PDFs from the Chart Review — like scanned in outside lab results and data usually in the Media tab of Epic?
You still cant remove the space occupying Status Board (were not all surgeons, you know). Id much rather have a search tab in its place.
Haiku reflects the sad, bloated state of the US electronic health record. And its because we let hospital administrators choose the priorities instead of letting doctors be doctors.
