- CVS Health is striving to mitigate clinician burnout by limiting the number of EHR alerts, according to CVS Health’s Health Trends Report 2021.

Furthermore, CVS Health is aiming to improve interoperability by integrating natural language processing. The company also said its EHR vendor, Epic Systems, is optimizing its patient portal, MyChart, in preparation for the ONC interoperability rule.

“In 2021 and beyond, EHRs will continue to face these growing pains,” wrote the report authors.   “Innovations in both software and integration are already changing some of their more vexing features.”
