The dX80 library · every claim sourced
So we did. Four stages, in the order they actually help. Every claim carries its source. All the research is free. No email. No sign-up. No list.
What the measured research says
If it feels like you work two jobs, the data agrees.
of EHR and desk work for every 60 minutes with patients. Closer to 55 in family and internal medicine.
That is 5.8 hours in the EHR for every 8 hours scheduled with patients. If clinic feels like the day job and the EHR feels like the night job, this is why.
Holmgren, Sinsky, Rotenstein & Apathy · J Gen Intern Med 2024 · 200,081 physicians · minutes converted from 5.8 hours per 8 scheduled · doi 10.1007/s11606-024-08930-4physicians spend more than 8 hours a week in the EHR between 5:30 p.m. and 7 a.m. An extra workday of charting, on top of clinic.
Notes finished on the couch. The inbox cleared in the driveway. And the share is going up, not down.
22.5% in 2024, up from 20.9% in 2023 · AMA Organizational Biopsy · ~18,000 physicians, 43 states · ama-assn.orglower burnout at 84 days among clinicians who adopted ambient documentation: 50.6% down to 30.7%.
Half the room to under a third, inside one quarter. Adopters who chose the tool, with no control group to compare them against, which is why we measure your practice rather than quote theirs.

Four charts: 27% of clinic time patient facing, 49% on the EHR, and what changed when a scribe was added.

Version 2.5 · August 2026Three liability questions, separated. One is unsettled. One is already in court.
How to ask your staff what they already use, and the ten-section policy to adopt afterward.
What HIPAA requires of a vendor, and the four-part checklist to run before you sign.
Fifteen questions a demo reel will not answer. 69% of the errors in scribe-drafted notes were omissions.
One page for the wall: what is approved, for what, with what data.
Ten steps and the words to say, before you record.
Narrate the visit. Better notes start before the software does.
If a draft feels thin, check whether the reasoning was said out loud. If it was and the note still misses it, the issue is the tool, the audio, or the workflow.
The free dX80 skills and prompts land in this stage. Packaged workflows you run yourself in Claude or ChatGPT, with the systems they are built for named on the tin so you know before you download whether they will work for you. Anything that touches patient information will be sold separately rather than given away, because it only belongs in a practice alongside the setup that makes it safe to run, and a skill that puts patient data somewhere it should not go is worse than no skill at all.
Why free
Every figure here carries its study, its sample size, and the limits that study names. The links go to the papers, not back to us. A number you cannot trace is a number you should not act on in your practice.
