Unfortunately, physicians routinely spend more time doing documentation than doing what they love most — caring for patients. Doctors often spend ~6 hours in an 11-hour workday in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) on documentation.1Consequently, one study found that more than half of surveyed doctors report at least one symptom of burnout.2 In...

November 29, 2017

Here is the abstract: This is the Introduction to Imposing Risk: A Normative Framework (Oxford University Press, 2017).
