Over 8 petabytes of data are collected at each health system, but physicians lack time to analyze and use this data. While more tools and data access have been provided, physicians still spend most of their day on EHR tasks instead of direct patient care. To improve this, insights from data should be integrated into the existing EHR workflow and focused on the most valuable outcomes for each organization. Standardizing analytic rules and reusing existing insights can streamline the process of generating and implementing alerts and interventions.

10. 68% of physicians say they lack
the appropriate staff and

EHR data to its full potential

11. A primary care physician would
spend 21.7 hours per day to
provide all recommended acute,
chronic, and preventive care for a
panel of 2,500 patients.1
Family doctors spend 86 minutes of
“pajama time” with EHRs nightly 2
