Just to add to what you are saying, it isn't just docs wasting time with systems that don't play nicely. Radiology is a hotbed of IT chaos with dozens (zero exaggeration) of systems that just do not work properly. Cardiac CT reports, MRI Spectro, CT dose reports, RIS systems and the PACS (there are about 20 data points on this one alone) etc. Basically anything that has any post processing done is also displayed horribly by viewing systems. Comparing what I see when making reformatted images to what some poor doc gets when I send him the reformats is very depressing. We have a radiologist who codes - he is mostly mortal unfortunately and has a finite amount of time is his day. Despite this he has made some amazing improvements in crap radiology workflow practices.
