The report outlines examples of electronic health record (EHR) related burden, as well as strategies and recommendations that HHS and other stakeholders can use to help clinicians focus their attention on patients rather administrative tasks when using health information technology (health IT).

The 21st Century Cures Act required development of the report, which was led by the HHS Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. An initial draft was issued in November 2018.
