he isn't wrong about the doctors though

Of course he is because even if the doctor typed like that, how would the patient see it? They don't do that in the exam room with the patient there. I wonder how long it's been since they've even had an appointment with their doctor if they think that is what actually happens.

Yes they do. General physical appt. 6 months ago. Doctor spent 2x more time on the wall-mounted EHR terminal slowly typing and clicking through menus than having a conversation or doing physical exams.

Just means their interface and workflow is bad and needs to be improved though, not that the doctor needs to be removed from the process altogether.

		OP here and the doctor was wonderful. If we fixed the interface they could help more patients in the same time.

		Mine walks in with the blood pressure machine and gets right to work. I maybe have him for 10 focused minutes then he leaves and I leave shortly thereafter. Sometime later in the day my electronic chart will update.
