Article Summary :
Medicine is an oral science, where people and doctors interact to get to know what the problem is. Doctors discuss with each other to gain new ideas and they also discuss with social workers and physical therapists to improve healthcare. But, “EMR has killed the oral science”, says Kevin R. Stone, M.D in an article where he discussed how nurses take half an hour to enter data – which usually took 3 minutes, and doctors has to hunt for information to share. He also discussed about Apple’s Siri, IBM’s Watson and other software which could both listen and add the information we may never have even learned in medical school, making both the patient and the doctor smarter. He also mentioned, Artificial Intelligence has long since solved these highly formulaic situations and could prompt doctors to be better at their jobs.
