Among the key issues for designing an EHR system are what information should be captured and how it should be entered into the system. Physicians may enter data directly or may record data on a paper worksheet (encounter form) for later transcription by a dataentry worker. What are two advantages and two disadvantages of each method? Discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of entry of free text instead of entry of fully coded information. Describe an intermediate or compromise method.
