A growing pile of evidence points toward a growing issue of physician burnout. Several studies have indicated that nearly half of physicians feel burned out, and more than two-thirds have reported physician burnout as a "serious" or "moderate" issue within their organization. Many have argued that the mass adoption of electronic health records and the push toward interoperability have exacerbated the issue due to the overwhelming amounts of data that need to be collected during the patient visit.
