The holiday season presents unique challenges across all healthcare networks. As a clinician, you and your colleagues likely feel the immediate impact, with ripple effects stretching through entire health systems. What already happens year-round becomes amplified during these weeks, when you’re already operating at maximum capacity and every team member feels the strain of stretched resources and heightened medical needs.
The real cost of clinical burnout
It’s not just the long hours it’s also about how you’re spending those hours. Think about your last shift. How much of your time went to patient care instead of administrative work? If you’re like many of your fellow clinicians, it’s a frustrating balance. When 41% of clinicians cite administrative tasks as their greatest challenge, something needs to change.
Recent data from Corti, based on a survey of 500 US-based healthcare professionals that use AI in their daily work, conducted in collaboration with YouGov, reveals a potential path forward: 81% of doctors and nurses believe real-time support could help manage their daily burden. With administrative work consuming a third of clinical time, finding better ways to handle these tasks is critical for efficiency and well-being.
Rethinking healthcare workflows
As a clinician, you’re facing a complex challenge: how to maintain quality of care while managing rising demands. You’ve been here before: new tools, new promises, and yet another system to learn. It’s no wonder clinicians approach technology with skepticism. After all, you’ve seen tech that was supposed to simplify your work but ended up adding to your workload instead.
The path forward is about integrating thoughtful solutions that work better for you and more importantly, alongside you. Technology should understand your clinical language, fit into your workflow, and reduce complexity. Not add to it. During the busiest periods, need tools that handle the documentation burden while you focus on what you do best.
By integrating solutions that enhance your workflow rather than disrupt it, success will be measured in not only saved time but also improved patient outcomes and a more satisfying clinical experience. Especially during demanding periods like the holidays, these improvements become even more critical to maintaining both operational efficiency and care quality.
As you navigate the challenges of your work, know that there’s a growing focus on easing the burden clinicians carry. Because while your dedication to your patients is unwavering, you shouldn’t have to do it all alone. It’s time to find the only healthcare-specific infrastructure provider out there.
