Description
Physician burnout is a national healthcare issue and the use of technology and electronic health records (EHRs) are often cited as a contributing factor. Join Gina Altieri, SVP Corporate Services and Dr. David West, Medical Director, Health Informatics with Nemours Children’s Health System to hear how Nemours is addressing this important issue through their Physician IT (PhIT) program. With PhIT, physicians receive special training in informatics and the Epic EHR. They then receive dedicated time to work on behalf of all Nemours physicians to identify where technology deployment in clinical workflows creates unnecessary work. The PhIT team is using analytics about time spent engaged in EHR activities, to help identify providers that may be suffering from burnout and provide support. Joining Gina and David is Dr. Matthew DiGuglielmo, Division Chief, Pediatrics and Dr. Sara Slovin from the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children to share their experience with the program.
