This book argues that the unintended consequences of electronic medical records (EMRs) do more harm than good—namely, that EMRs negatively impact health care providers, threaten patients’ safety, and bankrupt hospitals. The author examines ways in which EMRs fundamentally change emergency medicine practice and providers—not always for the better.
