The best kept secret in healthcare is that even with the most integrated EHR in place, clinicians still do a large portion of their work on paper - jotting down notes at the bedside, carrying rounding lists to manage their tasks and manually transcribing updates back into the EHR. While  EHRs have improved multiple facets of healthcare technology, they have not been able to address this gap in clinical workflow. The lack of usability when it comes to managing patient care has forced clinicians to rely on workarounds that are often unsecured and inefficient - putting patient safety at risk and increasing risk for the clinician and the institution. During this session, we will discuss:

• Why clinicians rely on paper lists and other unsecured tools to manage their work 
• How these workarounds can put patient safety at risk
• Potential solutions to mitigate these under-recognized risks
