Documentation is a substantial portion of electronic health records (EHRs) use. Regulations and EHR implementations may increase this the burden of documentation as users must maintain documentation quality and learn new systems. We analyzed reported documentation frequency in varying clinical settings among clinicians before and after an EHR system replacement. Nurses, MAs and other patient care providers saw the largest increases in documentation frequency, in particular frequency of documentation while in patient rooms.

Learning Objective: Analyze differences in frequency of electronic health records use across settings and three clinical user groups, before and after an EHR implementation.
