Spending more time on electronic health records was associated with greater quality ambulatory care, a study published in JAMA Network Open found.
While EHRs have become pivotal in primary care settings, they also have a consistent history of burnout association. Thus, “understanding the associations between EHR time and outcomes could help disentangle the evidence on the association between burnout and quality,” Lisa S. Rotenstein, MD, MBA, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, and colleagues wrote.
The researchers’ cross-sectional study included 291 primary care
