So far, the LDBD campaign has engaged 6 million people, including more than 700 posts from individual physicians relating to their EHR struggles. That response is documented in a new infographic from the campaign.
Here are the top four ways that EHRs are hurdles, according to survey respondents:
- 53 percent of physicians feel they are dedicating time to treating computers, rather than patients
- 80 percent of registered nurses spend excessive amounts of time on EHR-related administrative tasks
- 20 percent of providers said EHRs are a great enough source of burnout that they‘d considering quitting
- 28 percent said the technology‘s greatest shortcoming is that it is difficult to use, followed by collecting useless data and lack of interoperability
