In the past I was a developer working on a EHR system. I was laughing when I read "There was a column of thirteen tabs on the left side of my screen".

This is a really sad truth. Not only for physicians but also for other workers who have to work with an ERP system. At least here in Greece I have not seen until now any EHR/ERP that has good UI/UX.

Most of the time we was just building copies of physical forms or simply expose most of the fields of a huge entity in openEHR. Without automating anything.

I think that a big factor thats data entry process takes longer is because instead of hand writing something, now they have to type it or search for a check box to check. At least here in Greece I don't know any physician who can type as fast as he/she writes by hand.

Cerner millenium (a common and widespread EMR) looks like a 90s visual basic application.

Hell, it probably IS a 90s VB application under the hood.
