One of the greatest issues providers face isn't just the stress of the job itself - it's the insurmountable amount of paperwork and the burden of administrative work. According to a 2020 study, physicians spend just 2/3 of their time on direct patient care, with the rest going to EHR and other admin activities. We spend a lot of time talking about healthcare inefficiencies at Health Data Analytics Institute (HDAI), and believe providers could reduce this time (and hopefully eliminate some level of burnout) by implementing practices like: - Leveraging new technologies, especially those related to personalized care - Spending less time on prior authorizations - Asking for EHR improvements to simplify processes Check out the full list here: https://lnkd.in/gFJYdDE8 #healthcare #burnoutprevention #dataanalytics

Physicians have experienced significant challenges on the job over the past few years. And up until recently, most legacy systems have created additional difficulties for care teams. They have demanded more data input from clinicians, exaggerated operational friction, and, in some cases, add more work to care teams’ plates. If #healthcare is going to retain and attract talent, it will have to innovate quickly and refine its outdated infrastructure. A recent article in Medical Economics illuminates key findings from a MedCentral survey of over 800 physicians. Unsurprisingly, one of the top concerns was administrative burden, a pervasive challenge directly tied to outdated workflows and subsequent burnout. How are you relieving your care teams of administrative burden? Tell us about it in the comments! 👇 https://hubs.la/Q02J5yZz0

This is a must read for anyone in digital health or in companies trying to sell to HCPs in the US. We need to understand the reality of the GP and how digital is not helping them today, rather driving them from healthcare. We need to understand and empathize with why they are slow to adopt our products and can give so little support to patients. We need to rethink how we ease their lives.

Changing mindset around using digital tools and embracing their potential can enhance quality access, but making it easy to use will be essential. #DigitalTransformation #EmbraceTechnology #digitalheath

🔄 Rethinking Patient Care Transitions: The Issues with Legacy Referral Management Systems In the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the efficiency and quality of patient care transitions remain stuck in the past. Many health systems still rely on outdated legacy referral management software, exacerbating issues like prolonged hospital stays and discharge delays. 🏥🚫 Our latest article dives into the shortcomings of these legacy systems and shows why old referral technology is not suited for todays hospitals. 🛠️✨ At Repisodic, we believe that the traditional referral management approach is outdated. Instead, we offer a modern solution that replaces referral management with discharge automation, ensuring better patient outcomes and reduced costs. 📈🔄 Stay tuned for our next post where we'll explore the benefits of replacing legacy referral management systems in more detail. In the meantime, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the current state of patient care transitions and hospital discharges. 💬 #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCare #DischargeAutomation #HealthcareTechnology #Referrals #CareTransitions https://lnkd.in/gTFJd28A

Powerful perspective from within #healthcare: what are the realities of working with #digitalhealth and does it actually help? Did you know that a primary care doctor has up to over 2000 patients to care for? And that it can take up to 62 clicks in an EHR to order a treatment? That can result in over 4000 clicks in a 10-hour shift which is about 1 click every 10 seconds. Somewhere there you also need to take care of #patients. The reality is that #healthtech has added to physician workload despite trying to make things simpler. But workflows are not so easily streamlined and division of labor is not fully met by the introduction of labor, meaning efficiency potential is not reached. The default for technical glitches and challenges is still to rely on people which adds to their workload even more. “Our current solution to these technologic glitches is leaning on people to serve the needs of the electronic charts. It was supposed to be the other way around. Support staff becomes crucial, yet patching logistical holes often falls to doctors. Recently I prescribed a medication that took 22 clicks, waiting on hold with an insurance company, tracking down a denial letter, writing an appeal, documenting all these phone calls, and keeping my patient apprised through messaging. How many of those steps needed to be done by me? In my estimate, only about half of my daily work actually needs to be done by an MD.”
