Did anyone observe their workflow prior to dumping this system on them? Why doesn’t he have some sort of voice recognition software or handwriting software? Yeah these items can be pricey, but frankly they are worth every penny in my estimation.
The big factor that is lacking with so many implementations is training. It’s likely that the system they have is capable of improving their productivity rather than hindering it, they just don’t know how to use the thing to their advantage. I don’t mean the basics. Anyone can type a document in MS Word, but when it comes to actual desktop publishing, things become a bit more challenging. Also, desktop computers in the exam room are just ridiculous. A tablet, an iphone (at least with Allscripts), or even a laptop. Anything that allows them to stay put and simply talk or tap the screen would enable them to remain engaged with the patient.

I like the approach of getting to the CEO – brilliant!
