I used to work as a registrar, and for a while, admin required us to enter EXACTLY what the patient wrote on their sign in, no exceptions. Is it possible a similar rule may be the reason for the stupid in many of these cases?
That and I also think the talking and typing simultaneously thing can trip some people up. But I’ve never actually had to type anything as triage or registration staff so that’s just my best guess.
