I hate getting consults obviously generated by an EMR program. They look fake, read horribly, and contain very little pertinent info.

I posted my thoughts on EMR adoption today. What are your thoughts?

Sounds like they need the executive summary upgrade software, the one that distills all the excess to a diagnosis and recommendation.
