EMR As Lawsuit Defense?
According to a survey by the Medical Records Institute and Professional Risk Associates, forty-five percent of doctors said they think that electronic medical record systems can make physician practices less vulnerable to malpractice cases.
The survey of 115 medical practices showed that two-thirds of respondents with an EMR system said providers at their practices fully use the systems. A quarter of respondents said their EMR systems do not have all the functions necessary and that they have not been adequately trained on the systems.
