- EHRs are too slow and lack targeted information retrieval capabilities. Unstructured data is largely inaccessible.
- Rudimentary search functionality is more important in clinician dislike of EHRs than lack of end-user training or fundamental dislike of technology.
- Natural language processing and visualization dashboards are commonly named as features most likely to improve search functionality.
