Mark Twain wrote, “I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”1 With EMR features such as copy-and-paste and one-click data import, it takes less time and effort to write long random notes than it does to write short structured ones. Until EMR systems are modified to reverse this time incentive, long notes will remain the norm.
