Still not a fan of nurses spending as much or more time on computers than face to face time with patients. Same problems with doctors. Statistics don’t tell the whole story!
-
I am a nurse, and when I worked at the bedside, I spent over half my time on the computer. Granted, I worked in admissions, but we still did assessments and discharging of patients.

Electronic records generally are a plus, coming from someone who worked in the days when you had zero information about a new admission until someone found the old notes, lots of mistakes occurred just generally put down to ‘unavoidable’as no old records available
-
A bigger safety risk is time, the more time a nurse or doctor has to spend on an electronic system entering data, requesting tests vs previous ways reduces patient contact time

@GenderEconomy@UofT_BEAR@Kennedy_School Looking forward to research on the#genderbias training backlash. Beyond current unrest, I am curious about its long term effects (as seen in EMR data), hopeful these intentional changes are moving the needle by shaping norms.#BAD2018Thanks.

@DitLeeds &@CCIOLeedsTHT &@SarahAMoorhead &@martinjwaugh Interesting read, would love our stats on this? -
Two obvious areas to review being eObs and eDAN/eMeds. Almost makes me wish to dust down my SQL skills. Wonder what
@Colizobble is doing on his next university based Thursday?

Is the relationship correlation (association) or causal?
-
Only association. Observational study design not a RCT. Causation cannot be claimed. Other unmeasured confounders could be responsible for the observations. Also temporal bias could have impacted the results.

The best thing about retiring from nursing has been leaving the ball and chain of the EMR behind.

The other unanswered question is if you had spent the same amount of money in other areas (additional staffing, equipment, etc...) would there be a comparable or even larger effect

"How to stop worrying and love the EHR," but who would play Dr. Strangelove?

That deaths go UP initially is something I experienced when I had a minor surgery during a simple EHR upgrade. A potentially fatal double dose of a medication was almost administered to me by an anesthesia team. No one knew where to look for meds already given.

That’s right. And when the “system is down”, they don’t have access to vital medical records which could prevent errors and sentinel events

It’s not an EHR issue, it’s a human interface design issue

Nailed it.. clinician acceptance is all in the user interface.

EMR simply does not make health care better.
