Summary
Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is addressing the issue of "pajama time," a term referring to off-the-clock work that physicians perform, often related to electronic health records (EHRs). The institution is implementing strategies to reduce this extra workload for doctors, aiming to improve work-life balance and job satisfaction. Initiatives include streamlining EHR processes and providing support to ease the administrative burden, with the goal of allowing physicians to focus more on patient care rather than clerical tasks.
