Physician and patient having a conversation

More patient time. Less screen time.

Technology that empowers physicians

Clinicians spend significant time on administrative tasks, which can take time away from patients. The documentation burden leads to physician burnout and can hurt the patient experience.

  • Physician working on a laptop

    Physicians report spending nearly 50% of their work day on electronic health record (EHR) and desk work¹

  • Clipboard

    55% of physicians report administrative tasks are the main cause of burnout³

  • Physician working on a computer

    Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) accounts for 43 minutes of EHR time for physicians each day²

  • Stack of paperwork

    37% of physicians feel too much paperwork and regulations contribute to their feelings of burnout⁴
