When I see my doctor in The Villages Health Center, his medical assistant is usually in the room doing the typing while he talks to me. I don't believe a medical asst. is there when I see a PA or ARNP. The GPS, FPs and specialists in WA state having been typing into computers in exam rooms for many years. They just situate the computer so their back in not facing the patient as they type. For people applying for SSDI, workers comp, VA disability benefits, etc., electronic records are cutting weeks and months off the processing time for their claims. The future is here and we should embrace it.
