In the past I was a developer working on a EHR system.
I was laughing when I read
"There was a column of thirteen tabs on the left side of my screen".
This is a really sad truth. Not only for physicians but also for other workers who have to work with an ERP system. At least here in Greece I have not seen until now any EHR/ERP that has good UI/UX.
Most of the time we was just building copies of physical forms or simply expose most of the fields of a huge entity in openEHR. Without automating anything.
I think that a big factor thats data entry process takes longer is because instead of hand writing something, now they have to type it or search for a check box to check. At least here in Greece I don't know any physician who can type as fast as he/she writes by hand.
