- What it is
- A 2025 study at one academic health system at NYU Langone that combined focus groups of 20 registered nurses with the EHR vendor's time data. It reports the share of a 12-hour shift that nurses spend in flowsheets.
- How much weight it carries
- Peer-reviewed. The time figure comes from vendor logs at one health system, so it shows the share of time in the EHR, not how the time was split between typing, reading and dictation. The focus group sample is small.
Facts taken from this source
- EHR vendor time data from one academic health system showed that nurses' time in flowsheets averaged 31.11 percent of a 12-hour shift.
