Why typing speed matters here

  • Electronic charting takes time away from patients when typing is slow.
  • Accuracy is critical: a wrong entry in a medical record can have real consequences.
  • Steady speed over a full shift matters more than a short fast burst.

How to improve

  • Aim for high accuracy first; medical records leave no room for typos.
  • Practice common medical terms so they become automatic.
  • Use a 60-second test to benchmark, then build from there.
