Here in Japan, my PCP has EMR, and I absolute love it. I come in to his office, sit at the side of his desk _where I can see the screen_ and he enters stuff while talking to me, and shows me what he's doing with the record. I'm quite fond of my PCP, but he sees enough patients that he really can't remember everything David J.

Recall the "jumbo jet" analogy for adverse events in healthcare? That is fundamentally flawed, simply because when failure occurs at 30 thousand metres those in the cockpit are at equal, or greater, risk.
