The Healing Power of the Electronic Health Record.

The author reflects on the use of electronic health record (EHR) systems in naturopathic practice, and the need for practitioners to communicate in a patient-centered manner while performing necessary computer-related tasks. Topics discussed include the importance of retaining humanity in the profession, the principles of person-based care, and the need for naturopaths to engage with people and not to allow systems to relegate them to commodity status.
