Notes intended for patients would have a different form than notes intended for doctors. Unfortunately medical records achieve neither. My notes are bloated with information needed to bill the maximum amount from the center of Medicare services, which ultimately hurts all parties.

The bloat obscures critical information from other doctors. Patients are unable to read a meaningful account of their care, and are charged more for worse services.
