Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon Time Utilization in Clinic: A Pilot Study
Conclusion:
Pediatric orthopaedic surgeons spend more time on the EMR than with patients. About 70 computer mouse clicks are needed per patient encounter. The excessive computer time can diminish the patient-physician relationship. Click fatigue in physicians is real and needs to be resolved by improved EMR technology, utilization of medical scribes, or a return to partial use of paper.
Level of Evidence:
Level IV—an observational study.
