The American Medical Association recently published a study 1 reporting that physicians spend roughly two hours on EHR and desk work for every hour physicians spend with patients.
In this study, Vocera Communications, in partnership with HIMSS Analytics, sought to understand how clinical and IT leaders understand and manage the rising challenge of interruptions from technology system sources such as phone calls, pages, texts, notifications, alerts, and alarms.
We surveyed 150 clinical and IT leaders via HIMSS Analytics Logic online and onsite at the HIMSS 2018 annual conference.
