There is a high learning curve when implementing an electronic health record. Describe what this statement means.
What will be an ideal response?
Physicians are used to manually writing or dictating patients' health records; they are comfortable with that method and are reluctant to change, so learning a new system is not a priority. It takes a considerable amount of time to learn to efficiently collect information from the patient, examine the patient, and type the data into the computer; speed only comes with practice. All staff members, not just care providers, need to learn how to learn all relevant sections of the EHR software.
