Clinician wellness during the COVID-19 pandemic: extraordinary times and unusual challenges for the allergist/immunologist.
This article describes current challenges for the allergy/immunology community due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for social distancing adds to complexity of care and can create isolation and anxiety. The authors suggests that tools such as the Strength-Focused and Meaning-Oriented Approach to Resilience and Transformation approach, wellness apps, mindfulness and gratitude can be used to help reduce issues contributing to burnout, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and posttraumatic stress disorder.

Electronic health records and burnout: time spent on the electronic health record after hours and message volume associated with exhaustion but not with cynicism among primary care clinicians
This study examined whether objective measures of electronic health record (EHR) use-related to time, volume of work, and proficiency are associated with either exhaustion or cynicism. The authors combined Maslach Burnout Inventory survey measures with objective, vendor-defined EHR use measures from log files. Data was collected from all primary care clinics of a large, urban medical academic center in early 2018. One-third of clinicians had high cynicism and 51% had high emotional exhaustion. The clinicians with the most exhaustion spent time using the EHR after hours.
