The Problem: EMR Overload
Physicians spend a large portion of their day interacting with the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). According to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (2015), doctors dedicate 49.2% of their workday to EMR work, compared to just 27% spent with patients. This imbalance detracts from the doctor-patient relationship and burdens physicians.
Impact on Burnout
This documentation-heavy workload is a significant driver of burnout. With 55% of U.S. physicians experiencing burnout, this issue affects over 590,000 doctors.
