82% of clinicians, IT leaders blame burnout on interruptions from tech tools
As reported May 22, 2018 in Healthcare Finance by Susan Morse, Senior Editor at HIMSS, 82 percent of clinical and IT professionals surveyed by HIMSS Analytics report a high level of stress from work-related interruptive texts, alerts, alarms, pages and phone calls, and that these interruptions contribute to stress and burnout. Says Morse,
“Hospitals should pay attention because stress can lead to burnout and physician and nurse turnover. The resulting expenses are compounded by well-known physician and nurse shortages amid competition to fill positions…
Nurses spend 21 percent of their 12-hour shift interacting with the EHR and 33 percent total with technology, according to an UPMC study cited by the researchers.”

There’s good news for stressed-out clinicians in acute care environments and in reducing the amount of time clinicians need to interact with technology – medical device integration (MDI) with the electronic health records (EHR). MDI is frequently cited by clinicians as their greatest satisfier within an EHR integration project; it saves them time to otherwise focus on other patient care, and reduces the interruptions of manually notating vital signs and other criticalentering patient data byto automatinged communications with the EHR.
Such as at Partners HealthCare (Boston), as Boston Globe reported June 1, 2015:
“After two years as an intensive care nurse at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Aqua Bang will no longer need to carry a pen and binder to record the vital signs of her patients. Instead, that information will instantly flow from bedside monitors to each patient’s computerized health record, part of a massive information technology system launched over the weekend by Partners HealthCare.” For the full article, go to: https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/05/31/partners-launches-billion-electronic-health-records-system/oo4nJJW2rQyfWUWQlvydkK/story.html
At MDii (Medical Device Integration and Informatics), we have experienced this clinician satisfaction first-hand, having helped numerous hospitals integrate thousands of medical devices with their EHR system.

Integrate patient data-gathering medical devices with electronic health records to improve patient care and reduce costs.
MDii helps hospitals and clinicians achieve more effective outcomes faster and at lower cost by integrating patient data-gathering medical devices with electronic health records (EHR) systems. We improve patient care and clinician productivity, and in doing so reduce the cost of hospitals' EHR ownership.
Through our experience integrating thousands of medical devices with EHR systems, we have seen that medical device integration (MDI) is an enabling technology for clinical and IT innovation. Our body of knowledge and proven processes leverage hospitals’ existing infrastructure to enable device integration for hospitals at a fraction of the cost and time of a 'start from scratch / reinvent the wheel' effort. We bring this experience to healthcare provider organizations to make integrating their medical devices easier, and help enable artificial intelligence and machine learning with consistent medical device data.
Patient data-gathering medical devices in continuous use, like physiologic monitors, ventilators, and anesthesia machines generate extensive clinical healthcare data - hundreds of data points per minute. Without MDI, this data is trapped in the device and requires manual data entry to capture it in the EHR and gain the associated patient care benefits. By connecting medical device data to the patient’s electronic health record, hospitals improve the reliability of capturing the right data as soon as it is available, including:
