HIMSS 2018

Electronic Health Records were supposed to make everything easier: Seamless transitions, legible notations, and easily transferable so patients can take them wherever and whenever they like. Now we’re seeing physicians inside of a 10 hour shift clicking more than 4,000 times.

The videos below are brief excerpts from the Intermountain Healthcare HIMSS 2018 Podcast. Learn more about how loneliness is dangerous to patient outcomes and physician satisfaction (7:45), different ways to reduce mouse clicks across your organization (25:40), understand why multitasking and interruptions decrease overall efficiency (26:50), how flexibility with charting can lead to reduced feelings of burnout (28:30), how allowing physicians to work 20% of their time in an area of meaning can build immunity to burnout (41:45), and how blaming the victim doesn’t work on patients or physicians for getting the results you want (45:25).

So listen to the podcast. It’s just one more way Intermountain Healthcare helps people lead the healthiest lives possible.
