Summary

physicians in the Emergency Department spend their time on interviewing and examining patients, file documentation, communication with colleagues about the patients.

Introduction of IT technology aims to reduce the administrative workload. However it is the impression that more and more time are used behind the PC rather than at the side of the patient.
