And a third of a doctor’s visit time is using electronic health records!

Here’s the new POISED guidelines* to help improve patient communications while using EHRs:

  • Prepare: Review the electronic medical record before seeing the patient.
  • Orient: Briefly explain how the computer will be used during the appointment.
  • Information gathering: Enter data when with patients to show their concerns are being taken seriously.
  • Share: Show the computer screen so patients can see the information.
  • Educate: Display a graphic representation of, say, the patient’s weight or blood pressure over time.
  • Debrief: Make sure the patient understands what you said.
