The Impact of Administrative Overload on Physician Burnout and Patient Care

Physician burnout is one of the most urgent challenges in healthcare today. A major driver? The overwhelming
healthcare administrative burden that takes physicians and staff away from what matters most caring for patients.

Non-clinical tasks like documentation, billing, and compliance add hours of work, increasing stress, lowering morale, and threatening
staff retention in healthcare. This overload doesn’t just harm providers, it also creates risks to patient safety.
