President Obama’s support for a national system of electronic health records (EHR) in his American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has focused much attention on the inadequacy of current medical recordkeeping procedures. Since many resident physicians currently use EHR and nearly all will be using them in the future, it may be of value to understand the evolution of the current EHR system, the key players in its development, and resources for further study.Much interaction with EHR is less than ideal. System crashes paralyze clinics, poor system response times test user patience, multiple system passwords create redundancy and frustration, and overreliance on EHR in lieu of direct interspecialty communication can impair patient care. Despite these problems, there are advantages to using EHR, and its continued existence is as certain as the Internet’s.
