Prevalence of electronic health records (EHRs) has significantly increased, and EHRs are a known contributor to clinician burnout. However, it is unknown whether the use of multifunctional EHRs is associated with nurse practitioner (NP) burnout in primary care practices. This is a major gap in the literature because 69% of practicing NPs deliver primary care services to patients.
