The fact the doctor struggles is literally the definition of a bad UX. I don't understand how you can suggest anything else. It might be the doctor can learn a new workflow which is as good as or better than previously, but you can't just impose that on someone.

I can easily imagine how it is both possible and bad solution. You only see one piece of information at a time, out of context. Here it's painfully obvious to me how nobody bothered with formatting the whole patient record as a document that can be read at once without mad clicking. No skeuomorphy is necessary at all, just a scrollable document-like output with all the information visible and sanely formatted.

It might even have been suggested and rejected because that UI is against someone's "no scrollbars" or such dogma...
