(Image by Rishi Deep on Unsplash)
The electronic medical record was designed to better track patient care, but it has had unintended consequences. Physicians are bombarded with digital patient information all day long, reducing their patient eye-to-eye interactions and adding hours to their workday.

Outside office hours, physicians spend another one to two hours of personal time each night doing additional comput...

FDA: Duodenoscope reprocessing is dirtier than we thought
The FDA said today that new data show that the contamination rate for “high-concern organisms” in duodenoscopes is nearly twice as high as previously thought and warned the devices three major manufacturers to get their required post-market studies in gear.
