Tackling administrative burden in the revenue cycle to streamline tasks and increase efficiencies
Long-term stress, commonly referred to as “burnout,” is prevalent among office staff and physicians leading to a global impact on healthcare facilities. Addressing administrative burden is crucial as it serves as a significant cause of burnout within the healthcare industry.
According to a national MGMA poll, about 40% of medical groups reported physicians retiring early or leaving practices in 2022 due to burnout. However, burnout is not confined only to clinicians but affects all healthcare workers, including front-office and billing staff.
