The specific goals of the initiative by the National Library of Medicine for reducing documentation burden are to:

A) Establish approaches for immediate (<5 months) and short-term (8 months) reduction in clinical documentation burden.
B) Assess likely potential for burden reduction within categories of documentation burden.
C) Engage the patient/consumer-focused on reducing the documentation burden.
D) Generate approaches to long-term (5 years) elimination of clinical documentation burden.
