Our time has unintentionally become misallocated
Doctors spend more time on the computer than with you.
-- Forbes
“For every hour physicians provide direct clinical face time to patients, nearly 2 additional hours is spent on EHR and desk work within the clinic day. Outside office hours, physicians spend another 1 to 2 hours of personal time each night doing additional computer and other clerical work.”
-- Annals of Internal Medicine
"Our results suggest that physicians spent comparable time in face-to-face visits (3.08 hours per day) and desktop medicine (3.17 hours per day).”

It’s sad but true. Doctors now spend more time with computers than with patients. With the increase in EMR clerical burden on MDs, we need simple practical tools to reduce time on the computer = more time with actual patients. Phrasefire saves our docs about 21 minutes per day
