Cons

The administration and framework for delivery of medical care is burdened by delays, process, and protocols. There were new rules and documentation in the EHR every week. At times, caring for patients was bottlenecked by all the administrative requirements. This made the job very frustrating and the main reason I left. In private practice, I could see many more patients each hour than at the VA. Perhaps this is the reason for such long wait times to see a physician in the VA system, regardless of specialty.
