Dotti, excellent post and one I agree with 100%.
This issue reminds me of a commercial that used to air several years ago for Fram Oil Filters. The key phrase was "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later!"
In the contemporary medical world, that means that today you can accept the new trend of "during appointment data entry", or you can chose a doctor who's not documenting this way and risk a less than ideal situation down the road if and when a doctor needs quick access to you're history in an emergency!
Personally, I'm more than happy with my providers at the VHC Center documenting things during my appointments!
