All of us got into medicine because we wanted to take good care of people. This (electronic record keeping) allows us to take better care of people.

With the information at his or her fingertips, someone in the emergency room or on call is able to give more focused and better care. When people don’t know what’s been done, they repeat things.

People come in to see a doctor at the worst moments in their lives. It’s the least likely time to remember everything the doctor tells them.

It gets rid of legibility problems, and that means a decrease in errors.
