Summary
Most neurotologists report electronic health records (EHR) decrease efficiency, citing time burden and poor usability. Younger physicians found EHR improved efficiency, unlike older counterparts. Improvements are needed for better satisfaction.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Otolaryngology
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Electronic Health Records (EHR) are widely adopted in healthcare.
- Understanding their impact on specialized medical fields like neurotology is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the utilization and impact of EHR systems among members of the American Neurotology Society (ANS).
- To identify factors influencing neurotologists' satisfaction and efficiency with EHR.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional, internet-based survey was distributed to active ANS members in November 2017.
- The survey collected data on EHR usage, types, features, satisfaction, and perceived efficiency.
Main Results:
- Epic was the most prevalent EHR system used by 70.1% of respondents.
- 66.1% of neurotologists reported decreased efficiency due to EHR use.
- Satisfaction levels were evenly split, with significant challenges including time burden and poor user interface.
Conclusions:
- The majority of neurotologists experience reduced efficiency with current EHR systems.
- Specific EHR modifications focusing on user interface and patient interaction could enhance satisfaction and efficiency.

01:24Data Reporting and Recording
5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

01:24Electron Carriers
91.9K
Electron carriers can be thought of as electron shuttles. These compounds can easily accept electrons (i.e., be reduced) or lose them (i.e., be oxidized). They play an essential role in energy production because cellular respiration is contingent on the flow of electrons.
Over the many stages of cellular respiration, glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Electron carriers pick up electrons lost by glucose in these reactions, temporarily storing and releasing them into the electron...

Overview
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are attracted to an orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in locations that are associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into sub-shells and orbitals within each shell.
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the...
