Optimized Use of the Electronic Health Record and Other Clinical Resources to Enhance the Management of Hypogonadal Men

Electronic health records (EHRs) have enabled electronic documentation of a tremendous amount of clinical data. EHRs have the potential to improve communication between patients and their providers, facilitate quality improvement and outcomes research, and reduce medical errors. Conversely, EHRs have also increased clinician burnout, information clutter, and depersonalization of the interactions between patients and their providers. Increasing clinician input into EHR design, providing access to technical help, streamlining of workflow, and the use of custom templates that have fewer requirements for evaluation and management coding can reduce this burnout and increase the utility of this advancing technology.
