The root causes of nursing burnout are varied – as are potential solutions for it.
However, given that nurses are frequently responsible for clinical documentation, it s perhaps not surprising that reducing documentation burden is frequently cited as a key strategy for fighting burnout.
Whether it s through more in-depth electronic health record training or by taking an outside-the-box look at workflows, nursing executives shared their ideas with
Healthcare IT News for reducing documentation burden – and acknowledged the hurdles that remain in the way. Unfortunately, we haven’t experienced a relaxation of documentation requirements from payers and/or regulatory agencies, so any reduction in documentation carries a risk of denial of payment or not meeting regulatory requirements, said Ellen Hansen, chief nursing and clinical services officer at Children’s of Mississippi, part of the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

In a recent study, researchers associated more favorable electronic health record usability scores with lower odds of burnout among nurses.
Unfortunately, that study also found that nurses scored their EHR usability at an F – which seems to bode ill for workplace satisfaction in an already stressful environment.
Still, it s not all bad news: Nursing executives from hospitals around the country told
Healthcare IT News that they ve come to rely on a large range of digital health tools during the COVID-19 pandemic. And, they say, they ll continue to use some of that software in a post-pandemic world.
