Value We Deliver
Documentation completion time reduced. Clinician time restored.
39% median reduction in documentation completion time across 17 existing clients post-Sunrise™ 25.1 upgrade
Healthcare organizations continue facing the negative effects caused by rising documentation burden. Industry research shows physicians can spend up to 35% of their workdays on documentation, with as much as two hours of EHR-related work for every hour of direct patient care. The result can include administrative overload, after-hours charting, burnout and turnover.
For C-suite leaders, reducing documentation burden is more than a clinician-experience initiative. It supports higher operational efficiency, deeper workforce capacity and cleaner continuity of care.
The challenge
Documentation completion time measures the total elapsed time from note creation through final review and signature across all contributors to the documentation workflow. Clinicians entered healthcare to care for patients, not spend evenings completing notes. Documentation pressures can contribute to:
- Burnout and workforce fatigue
- Reduced patient-facing time
- Physician turnover and recruitment costs
- Lower productivity and capacity
- Disruptions in continuity of care
The measured impact
For 17 existing Sunrise clients who had transitioned to Sunrise 25.1, median hours per note decreased from 5.6 hours to 3.4 hours. These clients experienced the associated clinician, operational and organizational benefits described below during that transition.
Transitioning to Sunrise 25.1 supports improvement across the board
This upgrade goes past a simple technology fix. The clients we measured all experienced streamlined digital clinical workflows, improved task visibility and better data access. Together, these capabilities support clinical workflow optimization, which helps clinicians complete documentation tasks faster and more accurately while reducing the effects of administrative burden.
