Until your practice becomes paperless, it is important to review two very important aspects of charting. Although physicians are notoriously late adopters of non-revenue producing technology, many have begun to migrate to computerized systems, with varying degrees of satisfaction. EMRs can minimize numerous human errors, including misinterpretations, erroneous transcriptions and unrecognized medication interactions. I have advocated for the use of electronic medical records and so-called “e-prescribing,” in many professional publications.

These kinds of cases are problematic for providers and their insurers, because of the collateral “damage” caused by the charting problems. If you continue to have this issue please contact to HealioĪs a medical malpractice attorney, I have seen hundreds of cases that turned on charting by a physician, nurse or other health care provider.
