What can be done to fix EHRs?

 

EHRs can make or break a physician’s efficiency, as well as their longevity in medical practice. The proof is in the research. For example, one 2020 Journal of Medical Internet Research study found that 74.5% of queried physicians said EHRs contributed to their burnout.[1] It was never supposed to be this way. In 2009, President Barack Obama delivered a speech at an AMA conference saying EHRs “will not only mean less paper-pushing and lower administrative costs, saving taxpayers billions of dollars; it will also mean all of you physicians will have an easier time doing your jobs.”[2] Along these perceived benefits, however, comes the clerical burden of EHR data entry, which takes an undeniable toll on doctors. What would solve the problem? We spoke with a few experts. The answer, it seems, must incorporate physician input, user experience (UX) design, and healthcare policymakers.
