Unintended Consequences of Electronic Medical Records: An Emergency
Room Ethnography argues that, while electronic medical records
(EMRs) were supposed to improve health care delivery, EMRs'
unintended consequences have affected emergency medicine providers
and patients in alarming ways. Higher health care costs, decreased
physician productivity, increased provider burnout, lower levels of
patient satisfaction, and more medical mistakes are just a few of
the unintended consequences Barbara Cook Overton observes while
studying one emergency room's EMR adoption. With data collected
over six years, Cook Overton demonstrates how EMRs harm health care
organizations and thrust providers into the midst of incompatible
rule systems without appropriate strategies for coping with these
challenges, thus robbing them of agency. Using structuration theory
and its derivatives to frame her analysis, Cook Overton explores
ways providers communicatively and performatively receive and
manage EMRs in emergency rooms. Scholars of communication and
medicine will find this book particularly useful.
