One other interesting comment in there -- the note about how people think the worst records to deal with are the old handwritten notes. But actually, content-wise they tend to be very to-the-point. Clean printouts from EHR software have so much extra junk and redundancy that you end up with much lower SNR. Even just structuring a single EHR record can require you to look across many pages and do tons of filtering that doesn't come into play on the old handwritten notes (once you get past OCR).
Long way of saying: I feel for today's clinicians. EHRs were supposed to solve all problems, but they've also made things harder in a lot of ways.
