I guess I've been on the user interface bandwagon of late, but I do
think that a well-designed user interface can go a long way toward
getting past this hurdle (the perception - right or wrong - that EMRs
take time away from treating patients). And it should go without saying
that how well-designed a user interface might be is something very
different from the underlying technology: you can have well-designed
graphical user interfaces and poorly designed ones, well-designed text
based interfaces and poorly designed ones, well-designed voice
activated interfaces....You get the idea.
