Policy wonks and politicians like to talk about the wonderful future of digital healthcare records. To hear them say it all we have to do is just pass a few laws, and bam, the future is here. Healthcare professionals, on the other hand, look at the stacks of paper records in front of them and know that there are going to be some serious side effects along the way.

Employees know these changes are coming, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff are highly trained intelligent professionals. There is no need to talk down to them or try and use some empty rah rah line. What they need to know is that management understands their feelings.
Transitioning to an electronic records system is a difficult, but neccessary, task for operators like Inova Health System. Using language familiar to any healthcare worker, these posters empathize with stressed employees while driving home key benefits of the new advanced digital record system they will soon deploy.
So let me know, if you were a healthcare workers would posters like this get your attention? Would this approach lighten your day just a little bit?
