S1E4: Simplifying the Healthcare Administrative Burden, Dr. Nick talks to Jeff Goldsmith, PhD, President of Health Futures.

Healthcare's administrative burden, documentation, and billing requirements continue to rapidly increase. But the move to a digital environment has hidden the continued explosion of content. Now in some cases the information is part of the additional data we are capturing on our patients. Our ability to capture data and incorporate this into the health record is no longer limited to basic vitals intermittently gathered manually. And this data explosion is only set to further explode as we start to include the unexplored large data sets of genomics, proteomics, and the biome to mention a few. And with this the continued demands placed the clinical staff to document their activities in order to receive payment. How do we de-complexify healthcare? We don’t need or want Moneyball medicine where the data is entered by the very staff, we are wanting to deliver the best possible care.

Your better pill to swallow is to simplify or as Jeff puts it, de-complexify the system, apply Ockham’s razor to every one of your non-direct patient related processes and remove the ones that don’t add value.
