In general, moving from prints to electronic charts is just a bit faster. Of 
course if one happens to type in the wrong patient number add several minutes 
to delete pictures on patient record and then save again on the correct patient 
record.
Plus some data bases are more friendly to us adding pictures, OCT, HRT, 
Octopus, etc. others require several steps which then takes longer then just 
providing a paper print.
It helps if the photographer gets involved in the whole changing over to EMR 
process.

These comments are from my private praxis experience. My hospital has not 
switched me to EMR yet.

Thank you
Peter

Quick question for those of you who went from a paper/print system for results 
to a totally on-line system – i.e. Drs can see patient results “instantly” in 
clinic.

Did your workload go up? Did having results straight away meant the clinicians 
asked for more? More patients? More tests? More views?

We’re looking at a system now and I’m curious…
