Electronic health record logs indicate that physicians split time evenly between seeing patients and desktop medicine.
The researchers used data on physicians' time allocation patterns captured by over thirty-one million EHR transactions in the period 2011-14 recorded by 471 primary care physicians, who collectively worked on 765,129 patients' EHRs. Their results suggest that the physicians logged an average of 3.08 hours on office visits and 3.17 hours on desktop medicine each day.
