Exhausted and overwhelmed clinicians are reaching a breaking point as the COVID-19 pandemic enters another phase. Technology developed to improve treatments and clinical data collection has become an additional burden to bear. Technology must align with clinical workflow – not the other way around. Information overload is contributing to the burnout of exhausted clinicians already overtaxed by the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic.
Finally, automation, voice recognition, and smart processes are cutting down on the demands of physicians so that we can finally experience the full benefit of new technologies. Natural language APIs are extracting pertinent information from EMRs to save on scrolling while speech recognition software is taking on the laborious task of updating medical records.
- Examine solutions to address clinician burnout and among those that have been implemented, what were the major challenges
- AI-powered clinical documentation to optimize physician time and enable focusing on patients, all while getting the patient story right the first time
- Discuss how strong communication, teamwork, and leadership support can increase physician capacity and reduce burnout risk
