According to the article, physicians are not familiar with EHR and related IT tasks so they feld burden on EHR’s documenntation and workload burden. As they are working for human beings especially unhealthy cohorts, they will have unconsiciously concerns on inbox alerts and feel fatigue on dealing them.
The collegues working with EHR system in my country also felt above symptoms. Some are still reluctant to do documentation, some requests to assign data assistant for data entry etc.
Suggestions to reduce these:
i. prepare the EMR design to be user friendly setting
ii. train medical professionals about the system and advocate about the importance and benefits of eHealth
iii. use AI technology in implementing EMR and reducing workload burden on medical professionals
