from a mouse click in the system. There is a certain amount of
unknown variability between the two diﬀerent methods of collection for the ED time metrics. More studies on these metrics are

Overall, the study hypothesis was conﬁrmed that an EHR
system would have a negative impact on ED metrics at a single
institution using a stepwise approach to EHR implementation.
Further study is required to ﬁnd other impacts of mandated
EHR implementation and what potential improvements can
be made.
