Do you document patient care in the EHR? Your experience can shape the research around clinical documentation burden.

The 2026 AMIA 25x5 TrendBurden Pulse Survey is now open. This short, annual survey takes only 2 minutes to complete and provides critical insights into how documentation demands impact healthcare professionals across all settings.

By participating, you’ll help:
📊 Track national trends in documentation burden over time
🧑‍💼 Provide evidence to policymakers and health system leaders
📣 Ensure the voices of healthcare workers across roles and disciplines are represented

This is an annual survey. If you took it last year, please take it again so we can more accurately track how documentation burden has changed.

After you take the survey, share your commitment to ending excessive documentation burden on social media with these badges!
