Congratulations to Brian Arndt, MD (Professor, CHS) and Jeffrey Baltus, MS (Data Scientist II) on being published in Annals of Family Medicine. Their research article, “Refining Vendor-Defined Measures to Accurately Quantify EHR Workload Outside Time Scheduled with Patients,” argues that refining vendor-defined measures to better match the intention behind standardized “after-hours” EHR workload metrics will improve comparative research among health systems regardless of their EHR platforms. Arndt served as first author and also collaborated on this article with UW Department of Medicine colleagues Mark A. Micek and Christina M. Shafer, as well as Adam Rule (University of Wisconsin Information School) and Christine A. Sinsky (American Medical Association).
Annals of Family Medicine is an open access, peer-reviewed research journal dedicated to advancing knowledge essential to understanding and improving health and primary care with an editorial focus on identifying and addressing important questions in health and the provision of patient-centered, prioritized, high-quality health care.
