Mac Stewart, attorney at Dallas' Stewart & Stimmel: "The destruction of millions of paper records during recent hurricanes certainly proved the benefits of electronic records, but whether paper records should be eliminated altogether is not so simple.
Often, electronic record-keeping software comes with all sorts of bells and whistles, but not necessarily what doctors and nurses need most.
The software may very well let you sort, search and manipulate all kinds of data, but if it doesn't let you record essential information for individual patients, what good is it?
It has to fit your needs and not be a showcase of the cool things an engineer is able to do." ProfNet
