Association of Electronic Health Record Use With Physician Fatigue and Efficiency.

Importance: The use of electronic health records (EHRs) is directly associated with physician burnout. An underlying factor associated with burnout may be EHR-related fatigue owing to insufficient user-centered interface design and suboptimal usability.

Objective: To examine the association between EHR use and fatigue, as measured by pupillometry, and efficiency, as measured by mouse clicks, time, and number of EHR screens, among intensive care unit (ICU) physicians completing a simulation activity in a prominent EHR.

Novel Eye-Tracking Methods to Evaluate the Usability of Electronic Health Records.

The Electronic Health Record has become a staple today in every hospital and clinic, thanks to policy changes advocating its use. However, its full potential can be realized only when it is easy to use and compliant to the needs of the different user subgroups. This study uses a novel approach of eye tracking to assess and differentiate EHR usability based on gender.

Understanding the Impact of Clinical Training on EHR Use Optimization.

Electronic health records usability creates challenges to the delivery of care. This paper presents a novel approach to user analysis. Fixation counts have been analyzed to identify differences among physicians of 3 experience levels - residents, fellows and attending physicians.
