In Seattle Tuesday night the American Medical Association hosted its third town hall-style meeting to encourage physicians to speak up about their challenges with EHRs and the meaningful use program. The event was livestreamed on the Break the Red Tape website.
Here are nine tweets posted leading up to and during the event under the hashtag #FixEHR:
#HealthIT without #usability is junk and undermines #efficiency - #FixEHR requires usability AND #interoperability https://t.co/W2c9FIjwJ0

Usability needs to be addressed as well as interoperability but documentation can be better as well #FixEHR

EHR = massive complex database. Good. Asking doctors to do labor intensive structured data entry is nuts. Need scribes or AI #FixEHR
