It made EMR out to mostly be a positive on recording exam information. But there are many who complain that EMR captures less useful patient information because it is sometimes too laborious for the doctor to record very much data. Also, the example of only being able to find two blood pressures when you look through a paper chart is ridiculous. Another common complaint about EMR is that it is easier to go back through a thick paper chart and find things than it is to try to navigate through a ton of screens to gleen some information you are after. Of course this varies with the EMR but it is not a rare complaint in my experience. - Charles (Cleveland, TN)
