Joseph, We have several doctors that are near retirement. They have not had to interact with a computer, and they don't plan to start.
We currently are a paper chart based office. My VistA is primarily a place to archive progress notes -- though I hope to make a neat program available to others that might want to take advantage of options. For example, I am hoping to save about $12,000 a year in transcription by using voice recognition directly into CPRS. Currently, after the transcriptionist types up the text, it is printed and presented to the doctor either as a batch for review, or it is put onto the chart for review then or later. I think that the best option will be for the doctor's nurse to batch sign and print the notes. If some want to use CPRS the way it is designed, then they will have that options.
