Why Generic EMRs Fail OB/GYN Specialists — And What to Look For Instead
For years, obstetricians and gynecologists have been forced to adapt their highly specialized workflows to fit generic, one-size-fits-all Electronic Medical Records (EMRs).
Clinical Perspective
The "click-tax" of a generic EMR can reach up to 4,000 clicks per day for an active specialist. That's time stolen from patients.
From clunky forms that don't understand prenatal flowcharts to drawing tools that fail to capture complex ultrasound measurements, the frustration is universal.
