Resident Use of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Outside of Work

Teasing out Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: An Ethical Critique of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Medicine

“…Burnout has been repetitively linked to EMR interactions (Mosaly, Guo, and Mazur 2019), yet some authors have proposed modifications to physicians' work practices, effectively making the physician -not the EMR-the problem (Babbott et al 2013). Junior doctors increasingly spend time remotely dealing with the EMR in supposed personal time (Canham et al 2018). However, some groups (Rassolian et al 2017) claim that the EMR per se is not responsible for burnout (citing lower levels than other studies) as distinct from more global workplace factors, though it seems impossible to disentangle the workplace's requirement for EMR engagement from the purported "protective effect" of face-to-face interactions on burnout.…”
