Dr. Lakshmi Krishnan Featured in Nautilus Magazine Article “Are We Doctors or Data Workers?”

Michael Denham explores the impact of electronic health records (EHR) on physician professional identity and physician-patient relationships in this Nautilus Magazine article, citing Dr. Lakshmi Krishnan and Dr. Michael Neuss’ article “Virtuosic craft or clerical labour: the rise of the electronic health record and challenges to physicians’ professional identity (1950-2022)” in BMJ Medical Humanities. While the EHR imposes obstacles to the physician role, prompting the inquiry of doctors as data workers, Krishnan and Neuss view the challenge as an opportunity to evolve the collective understanding of physicianhood.
