We continue to test various methods to incorporate video into the #HITsm chats. This week a few of us got together to talk about what was said during the #HITsm chat. You can see the video embedded below. It was pretty fun to kind of wrap up what was tweeted during the #HITsm chat. Let us know what you think of the video below. We’re definitely interested in knowing if people like the videos or not. Plus, if you’re interested in participating in one, let us know as well.
Topic One: How might #healthIT CONTRIBUTE to #healthcare worker burnout (#EHR fatigue, etc.)?
T1: With ever-changing tech, there is always something new to learn. Can cut into productivity and get frustrating #hitsm

T1 Technology changes so fast, always new stuff to keep up with. Also, adds pressure to training, budget, compliance. #HITsm

T1 Too much data entry, distracting from care experience, unfortunate consequence of #EHR adoption.#hitsm
— Brian Eastwood (@Brian_Eastwood) May 31, 2013
T1: We hear a lot of burnout happening for caregivers. Alert fatigue. So many technology “bells” going off, unable to concentrate #HITsm

Topic Two: How are #healthcare worker burnout factors tracked & measured today (or ARE they)?
T2 Physicians are leaving medicine to start their own software companies. Trading one devil for others. #HITSM
— Mike Jenkins PMP MBA (@TechnologyChef) May 31, 2013
T2: Is there any study on how HIT related burnout leads to medical errors that it is designed to prevent?#hitsm
— Anshu Jindal (@AnshuBJindal) May 31, 2013
T2:Sick days? Turnover? Errors? A mood ring? #HITsm
— Chad Johnson (@OchoTex) May 31, 2013
T2: In all likelihood, it is just measured by turnover rates. This is a “too late” approach.#HITsm

Topic Three: How could/should #healthcare worker burnout factor into #healthIT design principles?
T3 Design should include prevention;burnout occurs over time. Design so that progress can b visualized 4more sense of accmpishmnt #HITsm
— LeAnna J. Carey (@thehealthmaven) May 31, 2013
T3: Leverage technology.One click pastes paragraphs of instructions that would not otherwise be documented.#Usability rocks! #HITSM
— Mike Jenkins PMP MBA (@TechnologyChef) May 31, 2013
T3 Stop designing around database schema.Design around user needs. #HITSM
— Mike Jenkins PMP MBA (@TechnologyChef) May 31, 2013
T3: Eliminate keystrokes, Bolster intuitiveness, Eliminate redundancy, Ensure streamlined integration to eliminate re-entry. #HITsm
— Jon Mertz (@jonmertz) May 31, 2013
Topic Four: How could #healthIT improve the provider experience (reducing burnout risk)?
T4 Design solutions around the needs of the users.Stop buying systems that cannot adapt.Stop provider pay cut by smarter buying #HITSM
— Mike Jenkins PMP MBA (@TechnologyChef) May 31, 2013
T4 Also, tech that streamlines “easy” care processes (i.e. take 2 of these, call me in morning) will leave docs more time. #HITsm
— Brian Eastwood (@Brian_Eastwood) May 31, 2013
T4: Hmm, I cannot help wondering how #HealthIT could improve patient experience, and what that would do for provider burnout. #HITsm
— Keith W. Boone (@motorcycle_guy) May 31, 2013
Topic Five: Should patients have access to #healthcare provider burnout factor ratings & mitigation plans?
T5: Should patients know how many hours a resident has been on duty?It should be the same answer.#HITsm
— Keith W. Boone (@motorcycle_guy) May 31, 2013
T5 The best Dr. on his worst day can equal the same care as a bad Dr. on his best day. #hitsm
