of a physician's office day spent on EHR and desk work — nearly twice as much time as they spend with patients
Source: AHA News, 2023
Your providers didn't go to medical school to fill out forms. But that's where half their day goes.
Physicians spend 49% of their day on EHR and desk work versus 27% on direct patient care — nearly 2 to 1. Insurance verification takes 13 minutes per patient manually, prior authorization consumes 16+ hours per week, and a 15% no-show rate costs US healthcare $150 billion a year. Small practices are drowning in administrative overhead that has nothing to do with patient care.
