I have been using eClinicalWorks since 2007.  I have saved time with having patient charts just a click away.  I can make notes, write reminders, access information instantly, and, the best part, adjudicate tasks to staff with just a click.  It is truly the way to go.  Patients also love the decrease in check-in, check-out times.  They can't wait for the patient portal to be activated.

Time to implement EHR in all our practices.

The survey found that 24% of residents said their clinician used a laptop computer, 6% said their clinician used  a tablet and 2% said their clinician used voice recognition software to record data during their last medical visit. According to the survey, 28% of residents said their clinician used paper and a pen to record medical data.

Ten percent of residents said that their clinician used a different data entry method or that they did not remember how their clinician entered data.
