Stress Management

EMR, EMR, EMR everywhere you turn. Technology will help us do everything we do in health care better.....almost. Technology is a critical factor and should be used to make sure patient information is up to date, accurate and privacy is maintained. But, at best, it is still a tool. People get that information and then put the information into the technology. And then people use that information to give care to patients. Computer engineering is important and so is human engineering. Most people think the former is easier than the latter! We'll focus on the latter, the people piece of the health care puzzle.
