68. Take the Suck out of Documentation | Making the most of scribes, documenting in the room (and in front of the patient), efficient workflows
Nobody goes into medicine hoping they can have a long career in data entry, but that’s how many feel when looking at computer screens more than patients during a work day. Documentation and the electronic medical record (EMR) are nearly ubiquitous sources of frustration in medical practice. In this episode we cover two solutions to make medical documentation, charting, and the EMR less onerous: a very specific way to interact with scribes and using technology that’s already in your pocket to chart at the bedside. These might seem like ‘tech hacks’ but they are really tools to get away from the computer and back to patient care.
