About 70 percent of physicians wouldn’t recommend their profession as a career, with electronic health records systems being a major source of dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfaction with the profession is so high that more than half of physicians say they are contemplating retirement within the next five years—including a third of those under the age of 50.
Results of the nationwide Future of Healthcare Survey, by The Doctors Company, were based on more than 3,400 physicians, and showed significant unhappiness with the current state of EHRs and how they affect their delivery of healthcare.
