Unintended Consequences of Electronic Medical Records

An Emergency Room Ethnography

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that the unintended consequences of electronic medical records (EMRs) do more harm than good-namely, that EMRs negatively impact health care providers, threaten patients' safety, and bankrupt hospitals. The author examines ways in which EMRs fundamentally change emergency medicine practice and providers-not always for the better.
