  In 2019, 91.0% of office-based physicians spent time outside normal office hours documenting clinical care: 17.0% spent <1 hour, 41.4% spent 1–2 hours, 24.0% spent >2 hours–4 hours, and 8.6% spent >4 hours per day. The percentage of primary care physicians who spent no hours per day documenting clinical care (5.3%) was lower than the percentage of specialist care physicians (12.3%) who spent no hours per day documenting clinical care. In other time categories, there was no statistically significant difference between primary care and specialist care physicians.
