Download the report." width="100%" height="100%"><p>Capturing health-related social needs (HRSN) data effectively and efficiently helps provider organizations leverage these data to meet the Quadruple Aim objectives: enhancing the patient experience, improving population health, reducing costs and improving the work life of health care providers.</p><p>Connecting patients with the resources they need to experience better health outcomes is a vital part of the HRSN screening process. With the right technology and resources, hospitals and health systems can identify inefficiencies and close gaps that could challenge the successful conclusion of that journey.</p><p>A new AHA Market Scan Trailblazers report, <a href="/aha-center-health-innovation-market-scan/2025-04-21-driving-drivers">“Driving the Drivers,”</a> explores how providers can leverage technology and workflow optimization to improve HRSN screening and connect patients with resources to address their health-related social needs.</p><h2>Personalize Care Connections</h2><p>Deploying enterprise technology that scales across the entire health system can connect patients with the right social network programs and resources and aid in tracking low-risk, rising-risk and high-risk populations. Key benefits of this approach include:</p><ul><li><strong>Send and track closed-loop referrals from start to finish to see whether patients obtained services.</strong></li><li><strong>Share personalized resource lists with patients, giving them easy access to the support they need.</strong></li><li><strong>Find and share tailored resources that meet each patient’s unique care needs.</strong></li></ul><p>By integrating HRSN data into electronic health records (EHRs), providers can identify patterns and trends at scale across communities that may not be immediately evident when considering individual medical data alone.</p><p>Overall, EHR and HRSN data integration support a holistic approach to health care. This empowers organizations across the care continuum to address population health challenges at a systemic level. By recognizing and responding to HRSN efficiently, proactively and at scale, providers can reduce health care costs and better manage population health outcomes.</p><h2>Standardize HRSN Data Management</h2><p>New Mexico-based Presbyterian Healthcare Services (PHS) has standardized its approach to automating HRSN screening, reaping multifold benefits in the process.</p><p>Toni Grinstead, health equity consultant and senior program manager for community health, oversees Presbyterian’s initiatives to address social drivers of health, including an automated health-related social needs screening workflow. Leigh Caswell, vice president for community and health equity, oversees the network’s community health worker team and its social needs screening and referral work.</p><p>Before automating the HRSN screening process, Grinstead and Caswell describe the health system’s approach as “scattershot.”</p><p>Some of PHS’ clinic sites still used paper, rather than their EHR tool, to screen patients. That created a twofold data entry problem. Clinicians or support staff sometimes would enter data inaccurately into the EHR system or not at all if paper screens went missing. Other challenges included the lack of standardized workflows to screen all patients across all settings and the lack of integrated screening results into the EHR system and each patient’s EHR.</p><h2>Harness the Power of HRSN Data</h2><p>With PHS conducting more than 1.5 million HRSN screenings annually across nine hospitals, 40 primary or specialty clinics and five urgent care centers, effectively managing these data became critically important.</p><p>In early 2024, PHS migrated to an automated approach to managing HRSN screening data. Three systems — HRSN screening, EHR and portal — now work in concert to power the HRSN screening process as part of routine health care. This approach eliminated paper screenings, standardized screening workflows across care sites and integrated patients’ HRSN screening data into their EHRs and patient portals.</p><p>“Having technology support our [HRSN] efforts is really powerful. We know a lot more about what our communities need. We know a lot more about what resources exist in our communities. Now we can use those data to influence policy and investment at the state level and at the local level,” Caswell says.</p><p>Patients now can answer HRSN screening questions through the patient portal before scheduled visits, eliminating that responsibility from busy clinicians and clinical support staff. Screening workflows now are standard across all sites of care.</p><p>PHS asks 12 questions in eight HRSN domains: housing, food, transportation, utilities, interpersonal violence, alcohol use, substance use and tobacco use. Screening results now appear directly in patients’ records, enabling the care team to determine if patients are experiencing a social need. If so, the system automatically generates a list of recommended resources in patients’ after-visit summaries directly within the EHR.</p><p>“Because everything is interoperable, the technology allows us to screen patients every six months, and every person who interacts with that patient has access to those data,” Grinstead says. “Patients [and caregivers] don’t have to answer the same questions over and over again during an episode of care. That improves the patient experience and the caregiver experience.”</p><p><a href="/aha-center-health-innovation-market-scan/2025-04-21-driving-drivers"><strong>Download the full Trailblazers report</strong></a> to learn more about the power of automating the HRSN screening and data management process and explore how Yale New Haven Health has improved its workflow efficiency.</p></div><div class="col-md-4"><p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" width="721" height="130" data-entity- type="file" class="align-center"></a></p><p><a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription"><img src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png" data-entity-uuid data-entity-type alt width="360" height="300"></a></p></div></div></div>.field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } h2 { color: #9d2235; } Tue, 22 Apr 2025 06:15:00 -0500 Electronic Health Records (EHRs) - Meaningful Use /aha-center-health-innovation-market-scan/2024-10-22-4-things-know-about-microsofts-new-ai-tools-health-care <div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-8"><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/4-Things-to-Know-about-Microsofts-New-AI-Tools-for-Health-Care.jpg" data-entity-uuid="af3455bc-8623-4a76-8833-70c0170ee6dc" data-entity-type="file" alt="4 Things to Know about Microsoft’s New AI Tools for Health Care.

The nurse-focused product has been deployed at multiple customer sites, Mary Varghese Presti, vice president of portfolio evolution and incubation at Microsoft’s Health & Life Sciences Division, recently told Healthcare Dive. The tool uses ambient voice technology to automatically draft flowsheets, or forms that collect patient data, for nurse review. The goal is to enable nurses to be “eyes-free and hands-free” in their documentation.</li></ul></div><div class="col-md-4"><p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" width="721" height="130" data-entity- type="file" class="align-center"></a></p><p><a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription"><img src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png" data-entity-uuid data-entity-type alt width="360" height="300"></a></p></div></div></div>.field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } Tue, 22 Oct 2024 06:15:00 -0500 Electronic Health Records (EHRs) - Meaningful Use /news/headline/2024-10-04-aha-comments-proposed-rule-designed-improve-patient-engagement-information-sharing-interoperability <p>The AHA Oct. 4 <a href="/2024-10-04-aha-comment-letter-hhs-hti-2-interoperability-proposed-rule">commented</a> on the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Data, Technology, and Interoperability: Patient Engagement, Information Sharing, and Public Health Interoperability (HTI-2) <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/08/05/2024-14975/health-data-technology-and-interoperability-patient-engagement-information-sharing-and-public-health">proposed rule</a>.

The law does not include a cause of action that allows private parties to enforce that prohibition. Instead, the Department of Health and Human Services is required under the law to provide a process for the public to report claims of information blocking, and HHS ultimately makes the decision whether to investigate claims and pursue any enforcement, according to the brief. <br><br>"The district court’s decision, however, offers competitors and other private parties the chance to bypass HHS entirely — and to take information blocking enforcement into their own hands," the brief notes. "In granting Real Time’s motion for a preliminary injunction, the district court allowed Real Time to proceed with — and even found that the company was 'likely to succeed on' — a Maryland common law claim that, '[a]t its core,' alleges conduct that 'amounts to ‘information blocking’ of protected patient medical records in violation of the 21st Century Cares Act.' If the decision is upheld, private parties in this Circuit will have the ability to commandeer state law to bring what amounts to an 'information blocking' claim in all but name." <br> <br>AHA urged the appeals court to reverse or narrow the district court's ruling.</p> Tue, 24 Sep 2024 14:56:38 -0500 Electronic Health Records (EHRs) - Meaningful Use /education-events/dual-impact-utilizing-advances-patient-monitoring-clinical-workflows-case-reviews <p><strong>The Dual Impact: Utilizing Advances in Patient Monitoring for Clinical Workflows & Case Reviews </strong><br><em>A Case Study with the University of Michigan Health System </em><br><br><strong>Wednesday, September 11, 2024 </strong><br><em>1 - 2 p.m. Eastern; noon - 1 p.m. Central; 10 - 11 a.m. Pacific  </em> <br> </p><div class="webreplay"> .webreplay{ border: solid 2px #777; padding: 15px 5px; margin: 0 0 10px 15px; } @media (min-width:360px){ .webreplay{ min-width: 290px; float: right; } } <h2 class="text-align-center"><small>On-demand Webinar</small></h2> MktoForms2.loadForm("//sponsors.aha.org", "710-ZLL-651", 4010);</div><p><br>Hospital systems are faced with multiple challenges impacting their fiscal bottom line.

A physician in a patient's room enters real-time health data at the point of care into a computer." width="100%" height="100%"></p><p>Earlier this year at the <a href="https://www.himssconference.com/" target="_blank" title="HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition homepage">HIMSS 2024 conference</a>, Rob Wonnacott, R.N., manager of Michigan Medicine’s nursing information systems department, described a difficult challenge his organization faced.</p><p>The problem? Paper strips — the kind that a clinician prints out from a heart monitor or other device, annotated with dates, time stamps and initials, and then physically delivered to another clinician to read, interpret, make a medical decision and instruct the first clinician on what to do.</p><p>The inefficient paper strip workflow was endemic of two broader challenges impacting the university-based health system: how to get raw data into the hands of physicians instantly and how to provide them with the data from many patients in multiple locations.</p><h2><span>Getting to a More Advanced State of Care</span></h2><p>Michigan Medicine is hardly alone in confronting this challenge. Scores of organizations are reconnecting, rewiring, reshaping and rethinking how they can deliver actionable, real-time data to clinicians at the point of care to improve clinical and business outcomes.</p><p>A new AHA Market Scan Trailblazers report, <a href="/system/files/media/file/2024/07/Trailblazers_Medical_Informatics.pdf" target="_blank" title="Marekt Scan Trail Blazers: Delivering Actionable Data to Clinicians at the Point of Care">“Delivering Actionable Data to Clinicians at the Point of Care,”</a> examines these issues and provides a road map for organizations to follow as they strive to boost clinical, business and operational performance.</p><p>For Michigan Medicine, the solution was a cloud-based technology platform that enables clinicians to access real-time data on any patient from anywhere on any connected HIPAA-compliant device.</p><p>The organization first connected its intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments and telemetry beds to the platform without changing any workflows. Six months later, the system eliminated the paper strips, which Wonnacott estimated at as many as 400 per day. The move generated hard savings from the elimination of paper and ink costs, the expense of printer maintenance and time spent scanning strips into patient electronic health records (EHRs). More importantly, it eliminated wasted time that now is focused on direct patient care.</p><h2><span>4 Takeaways on How to Provide Real-Time Data to Clinicians</span></h2><h3><span>1</span> <span>|</span> Explore the technology.</h3><p>Delivering actionable data to clinicians at the point of care in real time is a buzzy statement. But what does it mean in terms of technology and functionality? It means feeding into and displaying all relevant data clinicians need to assess and treat a patient on a single, customizable dashboard.</p><p>This includes core vital signs along with metrics from other devices and lines connected to an individual patient. The on-demand dashboard also pulls in EHR data, clinical notes and diagnostic test results.</p><h4><span>Takeaway</span></h4><p>Because all data reside securely in a web-based platform, clinicians can access the single dashboard on a bedside display, a tablet or a smartphone. Users can access all the data on any device for one patient in one location, multiple patients in one location or multiple patients in multiple locations — all 24/7.</p><h3><span>2</span> <span>|</span> Make a list of use cases.</h3><p>Explore a broad cross section of opportunities, such as these examples. Conduct retrospective quality assurance reviews with continuous and complete data sets. Monitor patients simultaneously while doing clinical documentation using a split screen. Remotely monitor patients during cardiovascular physical therapy sessions. Partner with revenue cycle staff to provide data in support of claim delays, denials and appeals.</p><h4><span>Takeaway</span></h4><p>Think big here. The only limit on use cases is an organization’s imagination for what can be done with the data.</p><h3><span>3</span> <span>|</span> Expect barriers to adoption.</h3><p>Hospitals and health systems that want to provide actionable, real-time data at the point of care to their clinicians will face barriers to adoption before the project begins and after the go-live phase.</p><p>Staff may see it as a point solution to solve one problem in one unit rather than an enterprise-wide opportunity to dramatically change care delivery. Organizations may not have an effective process to roll out a solution across the enterprise. From a technology standpoint, hospitals and health systems may not have easily integrated interoperable systems that can feed into one platform. Others who have been burned by prior technology installations may be skeptical of this approach and the ability to scale it across the organization.</p><h4><span>Takeaway</span></h4><p>Anticipating these before-and-after barriers enables advocates for change to develop plans to overcome each barrier before it threatens to trip up adoption.</p><h3><span>4</span> <span>|</span> Measure your success.</h3><p>Given the many barriers to adoption, it will be important to identify, track and report key performance indicators (KPIs) after the technology goes live. KPIs can fall into many categories such as administrative (e.g., claim denial rate, clinician turnover rate, patient satisfaction scores); clinical (e.g., health care-associated infections, mortality rates and readmission rates); financial (e.g., full-time equivalents, lengths of stay in the ICU and overall lengths of stay); and operational (e.g., patient throughput, ventilator days, etc.).</p><h4><span>Takeaway</span></h4><p>The return on investment promises to be substantial based on the right KPIs. The most important KPIs will track patients’ clinical outcomes and productive work environments and workflows for clinicians.</p></div><div class="col-md-4"><p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" width="721" height="130" data-entity- type="file" class="align-center"></a></p><p><a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription"><img src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png" data-entity-uuid data-entity-type alt width="360" height="300"></a></p></div></div></div>.field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } Tue, 16 Jul 2024 06:15:00 -0500 Electronic Health Records (EHRs) - Meaningful Use /aha-center-health-innovation-market-scan/2024-07-15-delivering-actionable-data-clinicians-point-care <div class="raw-html-embed"> </div><div> /* Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar */ .Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar { position: relative; display: block; overflow: hidden; max-width: 1170px; margin: 0px auto 25px auto; } .Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar h1 { position: absolute; bottom: 40px; color: #003087; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .8); width: 100%; padding: 20px 40px; font-size: 3em; box-shadow: 0 3px 8px -5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .6); } @media (max-width:991px) { .Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar h1 { bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 2.5em; } } @media (max-width:767px) { .Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar h1 { font-size: 2em; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; padding: 10px 20px; } } @media (max-width:530px) { .Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar h1 { position: relative; background-color: #63666A22; } } /* Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar // */ <header class="Banner_Title_Overlay_Bar"><img src="/sites/default/files/2024-01/Trailblazers_Amazon_banner_1170x250.png" alt="Cover of Streamlining Supply Chain Practices as Health Systems Expand" width="1168" height="250"><div><h1>Delivering Actionable Data to Clinicians at the Point of Care</h1></div></header></div> h2{ margin-top: 0px; } p.center_Intro { color: #002855; line-height: 1.2em; font-size: 30px; margin: 10px 0 25px 0; font-weight: 700; font-size: 2em; } p.center_Lead { color: #63666A; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.4; font-size: 21px; } <div class="row"><div class="col-sm-8"><h2>Higher Expectations Redefine the Health Care Landscape</h2><p>Every patient or family member has a customer service story to tell from their experiences with the health care system. Many stories aren’t flattering. Earned or not, health care doesn’t have the same customer service reputation as many well-known brands in the retail world like Amazon, Apple or Ritz Carlton.</p><p>Historically, the consumer experiences underlying the reputation didn’t hurt provider organizations like hospitals, health systems and physician practices from clinical, financial or operational standpoints. The reasons ranged from clinical reputation, brand loyalty and unbreakable doctor-patient relationships to narrow-network health insurance benefits and geographic market advantages.</p><p>But those reasons are crumbling before the eyes of most provider organizations.

A green piggy bank sits on an adding machine keyboard while digital markets analytics display in the background." width="100%" height="100%"><p>Health care executives continue to place a high priority on digital, artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics transformation, but 75% lack sufficient resources or planning in this area.</p><p>That’s the key finding from a recent <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/healthcare/our-insights/digital-transformation-health-systems-investment-priorities" title="McKinsey & Company: Digital transformation: Health systems’ investment priorities" target=")_blank">McKinsey & Company survey report</a>, which explains that executives’ investment priorities often don’t align with areas they believe could have the most impact.</p><p>For example, while 88% of respondents believe AI could have a high potential impact on their organizations, about 20% don’t plan to invest in it in the next two years. The absence of investment in a robust, modern data and analytics platform could delay valuation creation in areas that depend on these capabilities, including efforts to close care gaps, improve timely access for referrals and optimize operating room throughput, the authors state.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, budget constraints were cited as one of the top three key obstacles by more than half the respondents (51%) to investing at scale across all digital and AI categories of interest. Challenges with legacy systems were the second most common challenge. Other highly ranked challenges include data quality (33%), tech talent and recruiting (30%) and readiness to adopt and scale new technology (34%).</p><h2><span>4 Takeaways from the Survey</span></h2><p>Delivering digital value for providers requires investment and new ways of working, according to the report. Here are some ways the authors suggest hospitals and health systems can respond.</p><h3><span>1</span> <span>|</span> Build partnerships.</h3><p>Joint ventures and alliances may offer a promising avenue to new capabilities, increase speed to market and achieve capital, scale and operational efficiencies.</p><h3><span>2</span> <span>|</span> Move beyond off-the-shelf solutions.</h3><p>History shows that deploying tech such as electronic health records (EHRs) on top of inefficient processes and clinical workflows doesn’t lead to value. Realizing value from health IT systems will require reimagination and standardization of clinical workflows and care models across organizations.</p><p>Optimizing workflows to enable more appropriate delegation, for example, could yield a potential 15% to 30% net time savings over a 12-hour shift. This could help close the nursing workforce gap by as many as 300,000 inpatients nurses, according to a 2023 McKinsey analysis.</p><h3><span>3</span> <span>|</span> Operate differently.</h3><p>This entails making fundamental changes in structure (flatter, empowered, cross-functional teams), talent (new skill sets and fully dedicated teams) and technology (modular architecture, cloud-based data systems and reduced reliance on the monolithic EHR). With these changes, some health systems have begun to see value within six months. Building a digital culture will help the transformation succeed over time.</p><h3><span>4</span> <span>|</span> Cautiously embrace generative AI.</h3><p>This technology has the potential to affect everything from continuity of care and clinical operations to contracting and corporate functions. Nevertheless, many executives and patients have concerns about the risks of AI, particularly in relation to patient care and privacy. Managing these risks entails placing business-minded legal and risk-management teams alongside AI and data science teams. Organizations also could implement a well-informed risk-prioritization strategy.</p></div><div class="col-md-4"><p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" width="721" height="130" data-entity- type="file" class="align-center"></a></p><p><a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription"><img src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png" data-entity-uuid data-entity-type alt width="360" height="300"></a></p></div></div></div>.field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } Tue, 18 Jun 2024 06:00:00 -0500 Electronic Health Records (EHRs) - Meaningful Use /aha-center-health-innovation-market-scan/2024-02-06-what-physicians-and-nurses-want-execs-do-about-burnout-problem <div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-8"><p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/What-Physicians-and-Nurses-Want-Execs-to-Do-about-the-Burnout-Problem.png" data-entity-uuid="7f5087e6-99b2-4f22-8c15-cde203b969b2" data-entity-type="file" alt="What Physicians and Nurses Want Execs to Do about the Burnout Problem. A human head in profile is opened like a lighter with flames coming out of the inside." width="100%" height="100%"></p><p>Burnout rates among physicians and nurses are declining slightly, but they remain above pre-pandemic levels, with staffing shortages emerging as a top contributing factor.</p><p>Meanwhile, those who report they are starting to feel burned out cite efficiency concerns while those who are completely burned out cite concerns related to their organizations more broadly. Moreover, the severity of clinician burnout and the likelihood of their leaving the organization are strongly correlated.</p><p>These are some of the key findings from a recently released <a href="https://klasresearch.com/archcollaborative/report/understanding-and-addressing-trends-in-physician-and-nurse-burnout-2024/561" target="_blank" title="KLAS Research: Understanding & Addressing Trends in Physician & Nurse Burnout 2024">KLAS Arch Collaborative report</a>.</p><p>The report, based on KLAS data collected from more than 20,000 physicians and more than 32,000 nurses between January 2022 and August 2023, also found that clinicians want improved staffing and better alignment from leadership, greater electronic health record (EHR) efficiency and better pay.</p><h2><span>Key Contributors to Burnout</span></h2><p>Top factors contributing to clinician burnout are:</p><ul><li>Staffing shortages, noted by <span><strong>56%</strong></span> of physicians and <span><strong>65%</strong></span> of nurses.</li><li>Too many bureaucratic tasks, cited by <span><strong>54%</strong></span> of physicians and <span><strong>29%</strong></span> of nurses.</li><li>A chaotic work environment, noted by <span><strong>28%</strong></span> of physicians and <span><strong>39%</strong></span> of nurses.</li><li>No control over workload, reported by <span><strong>39%</strong></span> of physicians and <span><strong>18%</strong></span> of nurses.</li><li>After-hours workload, reported by <span><strong>45%</strong></span> of physicians and <span><strong>11%</strong></span> of nurses.</li></ul><p>Across work environments, burnout is fairly consistent, but it differs by organization type. Physicians and nurses working in community health systems are the most burned out, likely because these organizations experience higher turnover rates that result in increased workloads and less support, the report concludes.</p><p>Yuma Regional Medical Center, a member of the Arch Collaborative, proactively created a psychologist-led program to address physician burnout. Their strategy includes ongoing monitoring and follow-up appointments, fostering a culture of open communication and reducing stigma around burnout.</p><h2><span>Bridging the EHR Efficiency Chasm</span></h2><p>The Arch Collaborative conducts research on burnout, focusing on how it intersects with the EHR. The report underscores that health care leaders can help alleviate clinician burnout and improve EHR satisfaction by focusing on efficiency.</p><p>The authors note that health systems can do this by providing additional EHR education, supporting EHR personalization and reducing repetitive actions. Removing constant, daily irritants is an effective way to help clinicians feel more in control of their workload.</p><p>Previous KLAS research shows a correlation between strong information technology delivery and reduced burnout. Likewise, physicians and nurses need evidence that the organization values their ideas.</p></div><div class="col-md-4"><p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" data-entity- type="file" width="721" height="130" class="align-center"></a></p><p><a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription">><img src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png" data-entity-uuid data-entity-type alt width="360" height="300"></a></p></div></div></div>.field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } Tue, 06 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0600 Electronic Health Records (EHRs) - Meaningful Use
