Electronic Health Records: Are they ready for you?
Using Computers to increase Efficiency in a Breast Oncology Practice
EHR HIT has tremendous promise as a means of decreasing workload, decreasing
cost and improving quality of care
EHR and productivity varies by specialty100 internists, pediatricians and family practitioners
• 25 to 33 percent drop in MD productivity
• Over time
– Internists slightly above original productivity
– Pediatricians /family practitioners never recovered
Hemant Bhargava, UC Davis Graduate School of Management
Quote from a breast surgeon beginning EHR use
• …our productivity is down 28%
• I am the highest paid transcriptionist in the state
• Each cancer patient chart takes me apprx 1 hour
• For the first time in my career, I turned down an add-on patient
“Computerization hasn't saved a dime, nor has it improved administrative
efficiency”• 4,000 hospitals 2003 to 2007 • Computerization –Weak correlation • Quality for MI
– No correlation• Cost savings• Improvements in administrative efficiency• Quality for pneumonia• Quality for heart failure• Overall quality (MI, heart failure, pneumonia)
Himmelstein, The American Journal of Medicine (2010) 123, 40-46

Breast Data Overlaps
EHR and productivity varies by specialty100 internists, pediatricians and family practitioners• Initial implementation
– 25 to 33 percent drop in MD productivity
• Over time– Internists
• Slightly above original productivity– Pediatricians and family practitioners
• Remained below original productivity
• Explanations– Internists review data entered by others
• EMRs more efficient– Pediatricians/family practitioners data entry and
documentation • EMR more time-consuming
