HealthDay (3/30, Thompson) reports that research suggests “an overload of electronic paperwork is increasing the risk of burnout among young” physicians. Investigators found that “nearly one third of medical residents regularly spend hours upon hours after their shift filling out electronic health records.” The study indicated that “the more time young docs spend after hours on these records, the higher their odds of burnout and the lower their rate of job satisfaction.” The findings were published in Academic Medicine.
