Ehr State Of Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah I'm out that paper, no more chasing med records
Writing so illegible, that I'll be HIPAA foreva
Bought the new software, and though we use it here
I can't use it over there, different systems everywhere
I used to chart on paper, all of my verbals recorded
Mix up with the ward clerk, turned “diluted” to “dilaudid”
Switched me to that EMR, meaningless abuse, G
Now catch me at the nurses station mashin' that F2 key
Notes used to be our story, narrative, but yo
Replaced with copy paste, now a bloated ransom note
Me, I'm at that bedside, focused like a laser beam
On the patient, naw come on, I'm treatin' the computer screen
8 dozen warnings, click check boxes
Alarm fatigue, vaseline conflicts with doxy??
Nurses they be burned out, we could use some OT
Tell by our wrist guards that we most definitely on

[Hook 1]
EHR, crappy software some vendor made us
There's nothing you can do
Stuck with EHR
Best practice pop ups will tire you
Complain and they'll fire you
We need a new chart new chart new chart
(you're welcome, they built you a turd doc!)
[Verse 2]
Catch me on the phone with IT beggin' tech support
Shoot, it's like IT and me be stuck in 1994
Innovation all around, but it ain't in healthcare
Internet and apps for you, but we get ancient software
Welcome to that EHR, Go Live and it don't stop
Uncle Sam promoted it, but gone is the interop
CMS, EMS, PMS, holla back
For doctors it ain't fair, these vendors act like they all kinda wack
8 million stories, out there docs can't take it, after this disaster half of y'all won't make it How to train your Dragon: “hotmail” isn't “Hot Male”
If some be saying it's epic we sayin' it's epic fail
Electronic silo, team not talking
Paperless they say, but whole trees we droppin'
Props to case management
Long live the RT
Long live the pharmacist, whole team definitely hates

[Hook 2]
EHR, just a glorified billing platform
With some patient stuff tacked on
Give us a new chart
ICD-10's a disaster
Meet your new robot master
We need a new chart, new chart, new chart
(this chart wack, welcome to the apocalypse doc)
[Verse 3]
Tech should bind us, connect, not blind us, to the reason why we care
Patient's face reminds us
Designs like Epocrates, that tap the app agilely
Then magically the team works, let's bite the Apple, Steve
Caught up in the in-box, now you're in-sane
Good docs gone mad, the clinic's filled with them
Nursing, they the heart of everything
Data entry got ‘em hurtin', life starts when the shift ends
10 years of school, graduated to the OR
Mommy busts a Whipple she deserves a better damn chart
Autocorrect turning Chantix into Champion
Patient needs a sleeper, 30 clicks for a Ambien

[Hook 3]
EHR, crappy software some vendor made us
There's something you can do
Give us a new chart
Stand up and make our voices heard
Let doctors be doctors
We need a new chart new chart new chart
(Stand up, the whole team)
