Physicians are responsible for documenting patient care. Traditional clinical documentation methods have resulted in a sub-par patient-provider experience, less time interacting with patients, and decreased work-life balance.  A significant amount of physicians’ time is spent in front of the computer doing administrative tasks. As a result, patients are less satisfied with the overall experience, and physicians, who prepare for years studying medicine, cannot practice at the top of their license and are burned out. Every hour physicians provide direct clinical face time to patients results in nearly two additional hours spent on EHR and desk work within the clinic day. Outside office hours, physicians spend another 1 to 2 hours of personal time each night doing additional computer and other clerical work.

42% of all physicians reported having burnout. – Medscape
