Tech鈥慠elated Burnout among Physicians
Summary of Project & Goals
We are conducting a provincial survey to evaluate and compare what aspects of health information technology (HIT) are associated with the occupational burnout experienced by physicians in NS and ON. HIT encompasses all technology that is used to store, document, share and analyze health information including electronic health records, electronic medical records (EMR) and health information repositories. The study findings will provide a baseline assessment prior to the OPOR rollout and can be used to support physicians in combatting tech-related administrative burden and optimizing their use of patient data.
