EHR Productivity:
What is the Value of Your Time?
For physicians, productivity is critical. The SRS EHR delivers that productivity—the more productive and efficient the physician, the more revenue generated.
Approximately 80% of clinical workflow consists of the repetitive performance by physicians and medical assistants of 20% of their tasks. If generating a prescription requires 8 clicks in one EHR and 3 clicks in another, and each click takes just one second of a physician’s time, every prescription written has a potential impact—positive or negative—of 5 seconds on physician productivity. Add in the differential for other common workflows such as reviewing chart notes, sending a message, or reviewing and signing a test result (number of clicks, number of screens that must be navigated, etc.), and it is reasonable to assume that you can increase—or decrease—productivity by 30 seconds per exam, depending on the technology you choose.
