eCW Poll Identifies Key Challenges and Solutions Whatever their specialty, however large their practice, and regardless of how diverse their patient populations may be, America's healthcare professionals share a common challenge — administrative tasks. Year after year, case studies, surveys, polls, and anecdotal evidence agree that grappling with office administration — everything from check-in and insurance authorizes to care documentation, fax boxes, and gathering patient records — is among the biggest challenges in healthcare. All that administrative work generates an ever-growing flood of data. And while much of it is essential to providing prompt, quality care to patients, it is also very easy to lose one's way amid such work. That can leave doctors and staff feeling disconnected — both from the patients they care for and from their own families and personal lives — as their administrative work consumes their evenings, cutting into the "pajama time" we all need to rest, relax, and recharge. Our May 2024 poll of more than 120 healthcare professionals confirms these findings. Indeed, 41 percent of respondents told us they are spending four or more hours every day on documentation alone. That's like spending half your workday simply recording what you did during the other half. But remember that, in medicine, there are few timeouts. Patients keep coming, data keeps flowing in, and the time for completing documentation and other administrative work often extends beyond the hour when the office closes — and can run well into the evening.

Advanced interoperability eliminates data barriers, facilitating seamless communication. For years, healthcare providers have struggled to access patients past medical records. Patients receive care from multiple healthcare facilities. Access to patients’ full medical history is imperative for effective routine or emergency care. They may be required at a patient's usual point of care or a visit to a new location. Ideally, patients can recall their full medical history. However, providers should have access to patient information at the point of care.

In some ways, the 2022 HIMSS Annual Global Health Conference & Exhibition, held in Orlando in mid-March, felt like early 2020, with in-person conversations, presentations, and networking.
