Senator Patty Murray has been in Clallam County this week and visited the children's clinic and the hospital today. She is looking to put through an earmark (I've discovered these are not necessarily bad) in order to help the hospital purchase an electronic medical record system. So, she walked through the clinic this morning and stood in the clinic, listening to one of my fellow pediatricians and those high-ups from the hospital talking about why we need an EMR. This need was high-lighted by the chart of one of our complicated patients whose chart encompasses 3 large binders.
We were all a little giddy to have a senator in the clinic ...
