Abstract

Patient-generated health data (PGHD), such as patient-reported outcomes and mobile health data, have been increasingly used to improve health care delivery and outcomes. Integrating PGHD into electronic health records (EHRs) further expands the capacities to monitor patients’ health status without requiring office visits or hospitalizations. By reviewing and discussing PGHD with patients remotely, clinicians could address the clinical issues efficiently outside of clinical settings. However, EHR-integrated PGHD may create a burden for clinicians, leading to burnout. This study aims to investigate how interactions with EHR-integrated PGHD may result in clinician burnout. We identify the potential contributing factors to clinician burnout using a modified FITT (Fit between Individuals, Task and Technology) framework. We found that technostress, time pressure, and workflow-related issues need to be addressed to accelerate the integration of PGHD into clinical care. The roles of artificial intelligence, algorithm-based clinical decision support, visualization format, human-computer interaction mechanism, workflow optimization, and financial reimbursement in reducing burnout are highlighted.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
