Description of CME Course
Electronic health records are now critical in day-to-day health care operations. A drawback to using them, however, is that they tend to divert clinicians’ focus from patients to a screen. This phenomenon has generated a colloquial reference to patient-screen pairings as an “iPatient.” This commentary on a case suggests key points of ethical and clinical relevance about this trend in patient-clinician relationships and clinical encounters.
