Yes they do. General physical appt. 6 months ago. Doctor spent 2x more time on the wall-mounted EHR terminal slowly typing and clicking through menus than having a conversation or doing physical exams.

Just means their interface and workflow is bad and needs to be improved though, not that the doctor needs to be removed from the process altogether.

Mine walks in with the blood pressure machine and gets right to work. I maybe have him for 10 focused minutes then he leaves and I leave shortly thereafter. Sometime later in the day my electronic chart will update.

OP here and the doctor was wonderful. If we fixed the interface they could help more patients in the same time.
