My concern with it being 5 minutes is that it's too soon---I may be in a patient chart for 15 minutes and it now shows me as away, even though I'm right at my desk. I am concerned that my colleagues would not message me if the away symbol is up. I am in favor of the auto-away should be done away with or at least the time away from MM should be increased to an hour. It would be unlikely that I would be away from MM and in other programs for an entire hour without checking in.
