Biometrics aren't always reliable, the article mentioned this anecdote:
Another example comes from a city hospital where creating a death certificate requires a doctor's digital thumbprint. Unfortunately for that hospital, there is a single doctor that has thumbs that the digital reader manages to scan, so the doctor ends up signing all the death certificates for that hospital regardless of whose patient the deceased was.

#6It really seems to me that at least for healthcare the solution is just to go back to paper and then just take the paper and do data entry on it after it's out of the workflow on a daily or bidaily basis or something.
Honestly I'm also going to go out on a limb and guess that if most of the EHR portals screens were replaced with flat org files things would also work better.

I thought the whole promise of electronic records was to avoid transcription errors -- if the doctor enters it into the record himself, there's less chance of someone misreading or mistyping his notes later.

It’s complicated, the article mentions problems caused by this, but not problems it helps with.
