# EHR Impact On Time In Primary Care

June 17, 2015

[practice management](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/tag/practice-management)

A [few weeks ago](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/your-ehr-and-productivity/), we encouraged you to complete a survey hosted by [Physicians' Alliance](https://www.physall.com/).  The goal was to look into the great EHR skeleton-in-the-closet issue: how much extra time has your EHR taken from your day?  I have a survey over there on the right which indicates a significant number of practices are spending an extra hour or more at the end of every day just to catch up with charts.

PhysAll [has now published the first round of results](https://www.physall.com/survey-on-emr-time/) from the survey and they unfortunately confirm what we see in the field: many practices have lost time and productivity to their EHRs.  I think of it as a subsidy to both the EHR vendors and healthcare in general that only the physicians are paying.

35% of you are spending more than an hour at the end of the day doing charting?  46% of you have seen a decrease in productivity?

I look forward to the results in their next installment.
