It’s Time to Treat Lifestyle Like a Vital Sign in EHRs

What if EHRs tracked diet, sleep, and stress the same way they track blood pressure? New EHR tools let clinicians capture and monitor lifestyle behavior data just like vital signs.

Some #medical #nudges that didn't work:

Most (of a dozen) clinician-facing #ElectronicHealthRecord deprescribing tools didn't work? https://doi.org/10.1111/jgs.19609

Showing clinicians cheaper versions of a drug didn't reduce prescription costs? https://doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.19038

Attached: 1 image Epic Systems makes the dominant electronic health record (EHR) system in America; if you're a doctor, chances are you are *required* to use it, and for every hour a doctor spends with a patient, they have to spend *two* hours doing clinically useless bureaucratic data-entry on an Epic EHR. -- If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog: https://pluralistic.net/2024/10/02/upcoded-to-death/#thanks-obama 1/

With #Google

Yup, you read that right.
