An Interview with Dr. Karen Smith

A physician since 1989, Dr. Karen Smith runs a one-physician family medicine practice in Raeford, NC. She credits her electronic health record (EHR) with allowing her to deliver quality care in a rural setting – and to do it so efficiently that she still has time to be a wife and mother. ONC talked to Dr. Smith about how she uses her EHR system to care for her patients—whether she’s working in the office, supervising laundry detail at home, or traveling out of state. She is also one of the providers featured in ONC’s series of print ads highlighting key MUVers – Meaningful Use Vanguards – who have adopted certified EHR technology.
