Taming the Electronic Health Record Playbook
The electronic health record
(EHR) has profoundly changed the practice of medicine and is
perceived as both a blessing and a burden by clinicians who use
it. The EHR burden is a major contributor to physician
burnout, and it has become a problem that individual physicians
cannot fix on their own. It is imperative for organizations to
learn how to “tame” the EHR by implementing effective team-based
care principles and responding to feedback for continuous
system-level improvement. Learn more.
