Well said Dr Underwood. The current software for EHRs is substandard and inefficient. We waste so much time on the EHR. I only wish that I had that much time to actually care for the patients. We would probably have better outcomes resulting in greater physician satisfaction. Too little time and too many patients. Health care is completely money driven now. I am burnt-out.

What about residents and fellows? Is AMA doing anything for them? They’re underpaid AND overworked.

Why is Dr. Underwood reading his responses? This is a topic he should be very familiar with discussing.
