Electronic Medical Records

What is an EMR? Do you see the benefit?

A few months ago, Florida Orthopaedic Institute moved over to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for every patient.  Soon, I will be moving from my laptop EMR to an iPAD which will allow even greater mobility and ability to interact and engage the patient with their health information. As a physician, I love the ability to have a patients full health history, treatments, x-rays, etc all at my fingertips.  What are your thoughts on Electronic Medical Records?  Have you been able to see the benefits in your doctors visits?
