PURPOSE With the current wide adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) by ophthalmologists, there are widespread concerns about the amount of time spent using the EHR. The goal of this study was to examine how the amount of time spent using EHRs as well as related documentation behaviors changed 1 decade after EHR adoption. DESIGN Single-center cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Six hundred eighty-five thousand three hundred sixty-one office visits with 70 ophthalmology providers. METHODS We calculated time spent using the EHR associated with each individual office visit using EHR audit logs and determined chart closure times and progress note length from secondary EHR data. We tracked and modeled how these metrics changed from 2006 to 2016 with linear mixed models. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Minutes spent using the EHR associated with an office visit, chart closure time in hours from the office visit check-in time, and progress note length in characters. RESULTS Median EHR time per office visit in 2006 was 4.2 minutes (interquartile range [IQR], 3.5 minutes), and increased to 6.4 minutes (IQR, 4.5 minutes) in 2016. Median chart closure time was 2.8 hours (IQR, 21.3 hours) in 2006 and decreased to 2.3 hours (IQR, 18.5 hours) in 2016. In 2006, median note length was 1530 characters (IQR, 1435 characters) and increased to 3838 characters (IQR, 2668.3 characters) in 2016. Linear mixed models found EHR time per office visit was 31.9±0.2% (P < 0.001) greater from 2014 through 2016 than from 2006 through 2010, chart closure time was 6.7±0.3 hours (P < 0.001) shorter from 2014 through 2016 versus 2006 through 2010, and note length was 1807.4±6.5 characters (P < 0.001) longer from 2014 through 2016 versus 2006 through 2010. CONCLUSIONS After 1 decade of use, providers spend more time using the EHR for an office visit, generate longer notes, and close the chart faster. These changes are likely to represent increased time and documentation pressure for providers. Electronic health record redesign and new documentation regulations may help to address these issues.

十年来电子健康记录使用时间和文档的变化。



目的随着眼科医生目前广泛采用电子健康记录 (EHR),人们普遍担心使用 EHR 所花费的时间。本研究的目的是调查使用 EHR 的时间以及相关记录行为在 EHR 采用 10 年后发生了怎样的变化。设计 单中心队列研究。参与者 70 家眼科服务提供者进行了 685,361 次办公室访问。方法 我们使用 EHR 审计日志计算与每次单独办公室访问相关的 EHR 所花费的时间,并根据辅助 EHR 数据确定图表关闭时间和进度说明长度。我们使用线性混合模型跟踪并建模了这些指标从 2006 年到 2016 年的变化情况。主要成果指标 使用与办公室访问相关的 EHR 所花费的分钟数、从办公室访问签到时间开始的图表关闭时间(以小时为单位)以及进度注释长度(以字符为单位)。结果 2006 年每次就诊的 EHR 时间中位数为 4.2 分钟(四分位距 [IQR],3.5 分钟),2016 年增加到 6.4 分钟(IQR,4.5 分钟)。图表关闭时间中位数为 2.8 小时(IQR,21.3 小时) 2006 年,2016 年减少到 2.3 小时(IQR,18.5 小时)。2006 年,中位数笔记长度为 1530 个字符(IQR,1435 个字符),2016 年增加到 3838 个字符(IQR,2668.3 个字符)。线性混合模型发现 EHR 2014 年至 2016 年每次就诊时间比 2006 年至 2010 年长 31.9±0.2% (P < 0.001),图表关闭时间从 2014 年至 2016 年比 2006 年至 2010 年短 6.7±0.3 小时 (P < 0.001),与 2006 年至 2010 年相比,2014 年至 2016 年的纸币长度增加了 1807.4±6.5 个字符 (P < 0.001)。 结论 经过 10 年的使用,提供者花费更多时间使用 EHR 进行办公室访问、生成更长的笔记并更快地关闭图表。这些变化可能会给提供商带来更多的时间和文档压力。电子健康记录的重新设计和新的文档规定可能有助于解决这些问题。
