Background: As of 2017, 96% of non-federal acute care hospitals had an electronic health record (EHR). Hospitalists interact with the EHR for several hours each day. Many studies have suggested a direct correlation between physician burnout and frustrations with the EHR. Data has been published regarding physician time studies in the outpatient setting, but there […]

Background: Cognitive load (CL) is increasing in healthcare leading to provider frustration and poor performance. Human factors design principles like cognitive load theory (CLT) may mitigate the negative impacts of CL. This study examined the impact of a post-hospital dashboard (PHD) designed using CLT on provider performance and perceptions of workload in the post-hospitalization visit. […]

Background: Healthcare systems face challenges to meet the needs of a complex aging patient population, and simultaneously at risk of clinician burnout and loss of talent. Advancements in technology for clinical use have extended the reach of clinicians into patient homes, improving operational efficiency of Acute Care at Home programs, as well as patient and […]

Background: Clinicians spend nearly half of their time at work on clinical documentation, impacting time spent with patients and trainees. Studies have demonstrated a correlation with electronic health record (EHR) documentation burden and clinician burnout. Finding innovative ways to balance increasing EHR demands and mitigate this burden is essential. Purpose: We identified that time spent […]

Background: Health information technology (HIT) systems, though designed to improve clinical workflow efficiency, have ironically contributed to clinician burnout, especially among hospitalists who depend on these systems for patient care and coordination (Adler-Milstein 2020). Addressing these challenges requires a detailed, resource-intensive process to identify workflow inefficiencies. Because this process is difficult, it is often performed […]

Background: Academic Medical Centers (AMC) have utilized teams comprised of an attending, resident, interns and medical students to care for hospitalized patients. ACGME work restrictions have reduced the capacity of teaching services. Consequently, most AMCs now rely on direct care Hospital Medicine Services (HMS). Non-clinical tasks (making appointments, faxing for records), traditionally performed by teaching […]

Background: When used optimally, technology should serve as a tool for clinicians, not an obstacle. Yet according to a recent study by the Mayo Clinic, Electronic Health Records (EHR) score in the bottom nineth percentile of technologies when evaluated for usability. This lack of usability can lead to increased documenting times, workflow bottlenecks, and physician […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Healthcare provider burnout is highly prevalent, has been increasing during the COVID pandemic, and affects both physician and advanced practice providers (APP) wellbeing in hospital medicine (HM). The purpose of this study is to characterize and understand HM physician and APP stressors in their work environment, including workload. Methods: We distributed anonymous, online surveys […]
