Excerpt

To the Editors:—The article by Dr. Block and colleagues gave us insight into how internal medicine residents spend their time in the era of duty hour restrictions. They revealed that interns spend only 12 % of their time in direct patient care, while computer use occupied 40 % of their time.1 However, with the availability of mobile technologies (i.e. smartphones, tablets, etc.), time spent in direct patient care and time spent ‘using the computer’ do not need to be mutually exclusive. Technology can be used in a patient-centered manner and we should teach trainees how to do so. …
