COURT DENIED LICENSE to an 84-year-old doctor who had to surrender her license due to her inability to use a computer. Can’t believe it, right? Well, Indian doctors don’t have to worry about this yet as this is a case of United States.
The court said that the doctor’s limited computer skills prevented her from using the mandatory electronic drug monitoring program and therefore compromised her record keeping, prescribing practices and medical decision-making abilities. Considering the era of EHR, do you think Indian doctors lacking basic computer skills will face same situation in near future?
