I understand the issue with continuity of care, but to be honest that sounds like a communication problem at its core rather something that absolutely can only be addressed with aggressive scheduling.

It is a communication problem, but it needs a good filter because you can generate so much information through the EMR and other systems feeding into it (even plain-text sentence generation which just string-interpolates data -- naturally this takes time to read and it builds up quickly). Plus, multiple people can contribute to the medical record simultaneously.

Unfortunately the definition of a good filter is going to vary as much as workflows from hospital to hospital.
