SUMMARY — THE REDUCTIONThis Hand Clinics article reviews how electronic health records came to dominate practice and offers guidance on getting the most out of the EHR in hand surgery.
Abstract, as published

Electronic health records (EHRs) in the past decade have gone from a hospital-based record keeping system to integrated into almost all practices in the United States. As a result, practicing clinicians have had to adapt and change their practices to accommodate this new work flow. In this article we discuss how we got here and how to make the most of your EHR.
