Battling Burnout in the EHR Era: How Proactive Training Can Help

Burnout among healthcare providers remains a significant concern, and the complexities of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) like MEDITECH Expanse often play a contributing role. As a healthcare IT leader, you understand the pressure to achieve high EHR adoption and efficiency while simultaneously prioritizing your staff's well-being. The good news is that these goals are not mutually exclusive. By investing in proactive and effective training, you can empower your clinicians to master Expanse, improve their efficiency, and ultimately reduce the risk of burnout.

The Link Between EHR Efficiency and Burnout

Recent research from KLAS confirms that EHR efficiency is a critical factor in clinician satisfaction and burnout. In fact, those experiencing burnout frequently cite efficiency-related issues as a primary cause. This highlights the importance of addressing potential challenges early on, during the initial onboarding and training phases. As KLAS emphasizes, preventing burnout through optimized EHR workflows is far more effective than trying to address it after it has taken hold.

Onboarding for Efficiency: Laying the Foundation

Effective onboarding is crucial for setting your clinicians up for success with Expanse. Traditional training methods often fall short, leaving clinicians feeling overwhelmed and unprepared. MedPower's approach to Expanse onboarding focuses on:

• Efficiency from day one: Our training emphasizes the most efficient ways to utilize Expanse, streamlining workflows and minimizing clicks.

• Personalized learning paths: We tailor training to individual roles and learning styles, ensuring that clinicians receive the most relevant and impactful instruction.

• Engaging microlearning: Bite-sized video modules make it easy for clinicians to learn at their own pace and focus on the specific functionalities they need.

By providing a strong foundation in Expanse during the onboarding phase, you can significantly improve clinician efficiency and reduce the frustration that contributes to burnout.
