Every clinician knows the struggle: your last patient leaves, but your day is far from over. Instead of heading home or catching up on life, you are buried under a mountain of notes, letters and reports. The time cost of medical documentation is enormous—and it is silently draining your productivity, energy, and work-life balance.
In this article, we reveal how much time doctors and specialists spend, the hidden risks of doing it yourself, and how you can reclaim those hours with simple, effective solutions like transcription and remote PA support.
The Real Time Cost of Typing Your Own Notes
According to studies, clinicians spend up to two extra hours per day completing notes and administrative tasks. That is 10 hours a week—the equivalent of an entire working day lost. For many, this work spills into evenings and weekends, affecting both professional performance and personal well-being.
Why This Matters
Burnout Risk: Excess admin time is a top contributor to clinician burnout.
Compliance Issues: Rushed notes increase the chance of errors or omissions.
Reduced Patient Care Time: Every hour spent typing is an hour taken from patient care.
