If you are familiar with The Sullivan Group, you clearly understand the alignment of that topic with our mission and the role we have played with many health systems and EMR vendors to further that mission. However, we also recognize the importance of efficiency, speed, and productivity in the ED and how cumbersome physician documentation systems in the enterprise EHR can lead to an increased frustration and burnout by EM practitioners.
