The electronic health record (EHR) has replaced traditional paper charting in most healthcare organizations. The EHR is widely accepted as best practice in documenting patient condition and comprehensive care. However, research indicates a gap in technical skills needed by nursing students as well as nursing graduates in clinical settings. The May 2022 U.S. Surgeon General’s report on burnout in the healthcare workforce, emphasized that nurses, physicians, nursing students, medical students, and other healthcare professionals commonly experience burnout related to their experiences, including technology, in the hospital environment.  We must make bold choices in addressing these issues. A COMPASSIONomics framework delivered by leaders is one clear option. Compassion means “to suffer together”. Among  emotion researchers, it is defined as the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another’s suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering.  We call for a COMPASSIONomics framework to be transformed into interactions by nursing leadership towards nursing caregiver staff to mitigate suffering and burnout.
