R.I. bill bans doctors’ scribbled notes
March 20, 2011 
Doctors and other medical professionals who write notes and records by hand 
would face a fine under a state Senate bill. The legislation would require 
physicians to type all their notes, records, and files. The lawmakers argue that 
the scrawl of some doctors makes it impossible for patients to read their own 
medical records. Lobbyist Steven DeToy said doctors are moving toward electronic 
records, but banning handwritten notes would be detrimental to doctors in 
smaller practices. (AP)
