The issue is the amount of training physicians are getting with new EHR systems. The standard recommendation, apparently, is “that doctors receive three to five days of initial training to adequately use their EHRs.”

And a new survey indicates that’s not happening.

The survey data was gathered over the course of a year from more than 2,300 physicians, and there’s definitely food for policymaker thought. For the full article please go here.
