Most doctors don’t really have much time for patients.
Most doctors don’t really have much time for patients.
In fact, 67% of the average physician’s time is spent NOT providing care - they’re stuck doing low-level, manual, and repetitive tasks because current tools don’t help them care for patients in the ways they need. To manage, most physicians (57%) grind out more than 70 hours a week.
“Spending too many hours at work is a leading cause of burnout with 57 percent of physicians working 71 or more hours in a week and 50 percent work 61-70 hours. Almost half of doctors also identified that they work 51–60 hours, while only 36 percent said they work 31-40 hours each week. ”
For patients, the economics of care impose brutal time limits that often leave them feeling rushed through an uncaring system.
It’s frustrating for everyone.
The results from this time-limited ecosystem are sobering: 62% of patients don’t clearly understand their condition or care, 68% of patients that leave a practice do so because they believe their physician doesn’t care about them, and 81% of patients are open to switching providers at any time.
Storyline was created to provide personal, precision care to everyone, everywhere. So, while it’s far more capable than the hodgepodge of current tools and systems, it’s also easier to use.
For patients, it makes them feel cared for, listened too, and informed.
For physicians, it provides the intelligent workflows to make care teams 4x more productive, the high-touch interactions to make patients into partners in their own care, and the smart automation to make precision care scalable.
Most importantly, it helps providers build strong recurring-revenue business models, because that’s the type of business model that will allow for low-cost, scalable precision healthcare for everyone.
