- Assertion
- Using optical character recognition software on handwriting from 92 Welsh health workers, the study found doctors' letters had higher error rates (median 7) than nurses and other health professionals (median 3) or administrative staff (median 4); numerals showed no significant difference.
- Quote
This study suggests that doctors, even when asked to be as neat as possible, produce handwriting that is worse than that of other professions.
