Everything is moving toward a computer interface. Someday, it may all be audio driven voice recognition via an iPad touch screen technology. Until then, you're going to have to compare EHR notes that you typed yourself, with your very own fingers on your very own keyboard. Dr Wes, EP cardiologist extraordinaire did his own highly unscientific post about typing speed of people in medicine. He generated this cool scatter plot graph. His conclusion? The younger you are, the faster you finish. Nothing new here. At least, that's what she said.
Go take his typing test. Maybe we can get him to make a new graph with more data points. I'm intrigued. He might be on to something. Maybe this is why so many of the older doctors are against the new age of physician driven platforms for disseminating health care, ie physician order entry and computerized notes. The computer is the doctor's new pen. Perhaps the best solution for moving forward is as simple as providing typing classes. The new CME for doctors. Maybe they're just too embarrassed to show off their lack of typing skills. Everyone knew they were master of the scalpel. Nobody knew they couldn't type worth a darn.
