Physicians work nearly 58 hours a week, but only 27 involve actual patient care. The rest? Administrative tasks that do not align with why they went into medicine. For practice owners, this burden is yours to own, often by accident. In this SNACK episode, Miranda Dorta and Tracy Cherpeski break down the admin burden, explore the difference between moral distress and moral injury, and share the framework that works: stop, hand off to a person, or automate.
They tackle why delegation is where most practice owners fail, how to tell the difference between a task that is hard to let go of and one that genuinely needs your clinical judgment, and the three critical questions to ask before buying any new tool. Plus: why sometimes the answer is not automation at all, it is another human.
If you are a practice owner caught between knowing you should not be doing administrative work and feeling like you are the only one who can do it right, this conversation is for you.
