A study has found that electronic health record (EHR) use contributes significantly to workload and burnout among gastroenterology providers.Analyzing data from 347 clinicians across three tertiary referral centers, researchers found that hepatology, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and motility specialists spent the most time in the EHR, including outside regular work hours. In-basket messaging and documentation were identified as the biggest stressors, with over 30% of surveyed providers reporting burnout.
