Content importing technologies such as copy-paste, text importing phrases, note templates, and data-links provide an efficient way to document clinical encounters but can unnecessarily lengthen notes and propagate errors. A crucial first step in weighing the risks and benefits of content importing technologies is understanding their current use and impact on clinical documentation. This research demonstrates use of Electronic Health Record activity logs to examine use of content importing technologies for clinical documentation.

Learning Objective: Understand current patterns of using content importing technologies to document clinical encounters and learn a method for quantifying their use in other clinical contexts.
