The administrative burden on palliative academic physicians

The administrative burden on palliative academic physicians
Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, by Rida Khan, Michael Tang, Ahsan Azhar, Eduardo Bruera; 1/24
Every faculty member spends annually an approximate average of 5,300 minutes on administrative activities (approximately the equivalent of 29 consults plus 133 follow-ups). Using the department net average per encounter, the approximate value of these encounters is $36, 936 for each faculty member (about 11 clinical days)... We recommend that regulatory agencies and institutions work together to better regulate this list of tasks and their frequency.
