Study: The toll of EHRs on clinician burnout was underestimated

The role electronic health records (EHR) play in clinician burnout was not accurately predicted, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.

For healthcare providers or organizations, accreditation surveys are unavoidable. In order to receive certification from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)—which is required for facilities wishing to receive reimbursement from Medicare—an organization must be accredited. Examples of accrediting bodies include The Joint Commission and DNV GL Healthcare, among several others. TJC accredits a site at least once every three years, while DNV accredits a site for three years but visits annually.
