RE: [EXTERNAL] EHR downtime
I don’t know if such information exists or not but I use a 100% HER and when we have a downtime paper is used and then later scanned or entered into the system as late entries. I have found that a downtime doesn’t impact my work at all other than a brief delay on some progress notes.
