Decreasing Documentation Burden for Clinicians: 25 by 5

25 By 5 Symposium Drives Ongoing Efforts to Reduce Documentation Burden on U.S. Clinicians

Reducing documentation burden on U.S. clinicians is an urgent priority within the healthcare community, and leaders around the field continue to collaborate on this effort since the conclusion of the 25×5 Symposium, held over six weeks early in 2021 to set the foundation for those efforts.

The 25×5 Symposium was developed to establish strategies and approaches to reduce clinician documentation burden on US clinicians to 25% by 2025.

To aid the work in addressing the complex issue of documentation burden, an organizing framework from the American Nursing Informatics Association 2020 Position Paper was used to outline the Six Domains of Burden.  (Rosetti & Rosenbloom, 2021)

All of these should look familiar to our Clinicians and Caregivers.
