Time spent in the electronic health record (EHR), away from direct patient care, is associated with physician burnout. Yet there is a lack of evidence quantifying EHR use among family physicians. The purpose of the study was to describe a method for quantifying habits and duration of use within the electronic health record in family medicine residents and faculty with particular attention paid to time spent after hours.We audited EHR time for family medicine residents and faculty using an EHR vendor-provided, web-based tracking system. We collected and analyzed the number of patient encounters, total time in the EHR per patient, total time in the EHR after hours by physicians for a 6-month time period.Over the 6-month period reviewed, family medicine trainees and faculty saw between one and 164 patients monthly, spent between 17 and 217 minutes in the EHR per patient, and spent between 0 and 33 hours in the EHR after hours per month.Family medicine residents spend a significant amount of time completing EHR tasks after hours. Objective EHR data can be used by family medicine residency programs to devise interventions to decrease inefficient use of the EHR, decrease after-hours EHR use, and improve well-being.
