Key Points Question Which electronic health record (EHR) design and use factors are associated with clinician stress and burnout? Findings In this survey study of 282 clinicians, clinician stress and burnout were associated with 7 EHR design and use factors. These 7 plus 2 other design and use factors collectively accounted for a modest amount of the variance in stress (12.5%) and burnout (6.8%); models incorporating other work conditions (such as chaotic work atmosphere and workload control) accounted for considerably more of the variance in stress (58.1%) and burnout (36.2%). Meaning While EHR design and use factors may appropriately be targeted by health systems and EHR designers to address stress and burnout, other non-EHR issues, especially clinician work conditions, appear to play a substantial role in adverse clinician outcomes.
