Researchers Offer 4 Suggestions for Reducing EHR-Related Burnout

Compared to paper files, electronic health records (EHRs) have facilitated quicker and more accurate communication among healthcare providers, but they are nonetheless often cited as a leading cause of physician burnout. After analyzing several studies on medical record-caused fatigue, a group of researchers came up with four key recommendations that they believe healthcare organizations could implement to curb burnout.

Lisa Merlo, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychiatry and director of wellness programs at the University of Florida College of Medicine, teamed up with Oliver Nguyen, a research coordinator and IT specialist in the College of Medicine, to evaluate 35 studies of records-related burnout, looking for common threads. Their study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, is part of a special issue on physician burnout.
