There are many benefits of learning touch typing but the best benefit you can have is that touch typing saves time, your time and your client/coworker/supervisor’s time! Those extra 10 seconds you spend to find the ampersand ( &) key accrual to minutes and then hours.
In my few months of working experience and interacting with people from other companies, I have realized that people spent too much time on typing reports and sending emails because they do not touch type (this is typing with your 10 fingers, left hand placed on the asdf keys and the right hand on the jkl keys). I am sure you have also experienced a similar issue like this at a mall during checkout or even worse, you type like this. I presumed this would be the same routine for the next patients, 8 minutes per patient, not for the examination but to type. 8 minutes! This kind of typing is called Hunt and Peck. He looks on the keyboard, types a word, looks at the monitor, sometimes deletes characters and the cycle repeats. It took him 8 minutes to type the diagnosis and the prescription with two of his index fingers. When he was done, he told me to give him some time to type, then I can go for my drugs.
When I went to the consultation room, the doctor spent less than 2 minutes reviewing my results and asking me questions. Last Friday, I went for my routine physical exams at this hospital.
About three months ago, I found out that my local hospital had migrated to a folder less system so they had a network of computers at every station.
