"We’ve discussed the boom of physician tablet computer ownership and use in previous EHR blog posts. In 2011, 30% of doctors in the United States owned a tablet computer, compared to only 5% of the general public."
A couple years ago, I was referred to a specialist by my family physician. When I visited the specialist, I noticed he was using an electronic health record (EHR) on a desktop computer in the examination room. Throughout the entire visit the specialist stared at the computer screen, not even glancing up when I inquired about my ailment.
