Abstract
Electronic health records (EHRs) have become integral to modern health care, facilitating documentation, billing, and care coordination. However, their increasing use introduces potential challenges to professionalism in the patient-physician relationship. This article explores both the positive and negative impacts of EHRs on professional behaviors, including empathy, communication, and efficiency. We discuss strategies to enhance professionalism in EHR use, with a focus on training and education for medical professionals. We also highlight the importance of patient engagement and shared decision-making in navigating the evolving digital landscape of health care. [Pediatr Ann. 2024;53(12):e458-e464.].
