25 by 5: Symposium to Reduce Documentation Burden on US Clinicians by 75% by 2025

Documentation burden has become a growing national concern with the increased adoption and use of electronic health records, leading to increased clinician burnout and associated negative impacts on patient care such as increased medical errors and hospital acquired infections.
