Tackling Physician Burnout: The Hidden Costs of Clunky Documentation Systems
Welcome back to Care Decoded, the show where we break down the complexities of risk adjustment, documentation, and the evolving role of AI in healthcare. In today’s episode, host Lucy Medina sits down with Dr. Sunil Nihalani, CEO of Inferscience and practicing physician, to tackle a topic that hits close to home for every clinician: documentation burnout. Together, they pull back the curtain on how clunky EHR systems, endless documentation demands, and poorly designed workflows are taking a toll not just on clinicians’ efficiency but also on their emotional well-being, patient relationships, and even financial outcomes.
From the frustrations of lost patient moments to the hidden costs of delayed or inadequate documentation, Lucy and Dr. Nihalani explore the very real burdens today’s healthcare professionals face. But it's not all doom and gloom; they’ll also shed light on how AI-powered tools and smarter EHR integrations are starting to transform the landscape, offering hope for a future where technology truly works in service of both providers and patients.
If you’re a clinician who’s ever felt buried under paperwork or a health system leader looking for real solutions, this conversation is for you. Let’s decode the path from burden to benefit together.
