While this concept of note bloat has been widely discussed, there is little evidence on its scope or causes. This retrospective cross-sectional study aims to help fill this knowledge gap by examining the length and redundancy of nearly 3 million outpatient progress notes written between 2009 and 2018 by over 6,000 authors across 46 medical specialties at Oregon Health & Science University. 000009251 540__ $$fCC BY 000009251 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009251 650__ $$aDocumentation$$018012 000009251 650__ $$aElectronic Health Records$$038928 000009251 6531_ $$aclinical notes 000009251 6531_ $$anote bloat 000009251 7001_ $$aRule, Adam$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009251 7001_ $$aBedrick, Steven$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009251 7001_ $$aChiang, Michael F.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009251 7001_ $$aHribar, Michelle R.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009251 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2021 000009251 8564_ $$90f9f0391-bfd0-4efb-af76-4684497f213a$$s82508$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9251/files/Rule-Adam-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2021.pdf 000009251 905__ $$a/rest/prod/td/96/k3/08/td96k3085 000009251 980__ $$aResearch Week
