The Administrative Burden Crisis—Can Digital Tools Save Providers?

The Growing Administrative Burden in Healthcare

Healthcare providers are spending more time on paperwork and documentation than ever before. According to MedCentral’s 2024 Report, physicians devote an average of 16 hours per week to administrative tasks—taking valuable time away from patient care.

✔ Excessive time spent on documentation and billing tasks
✔ Increased risk of
provider burnout and reduced job satisfaction
✔ Decreased patient satisfaction due to operational inefficiencies

Why Administrative Burdens Hurt Healthcare Practices

Administrative tasks not only consume physicians’ time but also strain overworked support staff. Key challenges include:
Documentation overload – Reduces the time providers spend with patients
Workforce shortages – Leaves fewer staff to handle rising workloads
Operational inefficiencies – Lead to longer wait times and increased patient dissatisfaction

As providers and staff become overwhelmed, healthcare practices struggle to maintain high-quality care and efficient operations.
