This blog is about a paradox concerning Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems: while they can make caregiving more efficient, it also contributes to increased doctor fatigue. According to Dr. John Rogers, the unstructured characteristic connected with EHRs will frequently impede obtaining crucial information about patients causing poor treatment. The argument put forth in this blog calls for improvements in cognitive design resulting to a user-friendly interface that would reduce stress levels among healthcare providers. By focusing on the right kind of information and reducing distractions EHR systems can help lessen cognitive overload and allow for good quality patient care indicating that there is an urgent need for technology which supports instead of complicating what health workers are doing.
