Participants: 57 U.S. physicians in family medicine, internal
medicine, cardiology, and orthopedics who were observed for 430 hours; 21 of them also completed after-hours diaries.
Measurements: Proportions of time spent on 4 activities (direct
clinical face time, electronic health record [EHR] and desk work, administrative tasks, and other tasks) and self-reported after-hours work.

Results: During the office day, physicians spent 27.0%
of their total time on direct clinical face-time with patients and 49.2% of their time on EHR and desk work.
The 21 physicians who completed after-hours diaries reported 1 to 2 hours of after-hours work each night, devoted mostly to EHR tasks.
