NYTimes: An Unforeseen Complication of Electronic Medical Records

As a lover of all things "tech" (except my love of fountaim pens), I'm
very excited about our transition to an EMR over the next year. Yet as
wonderfully descibed in the article below, I have some very
significant reservations too. How will it affect my interaction with
my patients? How will it affect my work flow? Will it help or hinder
my communication with patients and my referring MD's?

From The New York Times:

DOCTOR AND PATIENT: An Unforeseen Complication of Electronic Medical
Records

Learning to juggle computers in the exam room can have unexpected
consequences for doctor-patient relations.
