Doctors spend only 40-50% of their day on actual patient care. Administrative work often bleeds into clinical territory, especially when virtual assistants handle tasks that require medical judgment. Protecting time for direct patient care is essential to why physicians chose medicine.
We often talk about this distinction between administrative and clinical, and then we fool ourselves into thinking, oh, this is just administrative, pretty much anybody can do it. Let's help dispel that myth and mistake there. So what does administrative mean in terms of virtual assistants, and how far do these kind of administrative assistants end up doing some or other clinical things? Ish-related tasks as well.
Yeah, I think it's very important because when you look at different doctors' offices or physicians' offices, you start looking at what is, what are the tasks that really put, let's say, a client in, in, in patient care ahead of everything, right? So it's, it's really sitting face to face, and you break it up between what we do at Reva Global Medical. We break it up between clinical and clerical. Right? So you look at clinical tasks are assessing patients, making care decisions, administering treatments, coordinating care plans, and that typically takes about 50, probably 40-50% of, you know, physicians' day's time up. So that's the, the part of their day that needs to be really, really focused on bringing people into their practice, really showing them that they care. Because when you see physicians that signed up to be a physician or a doctor, that's typically why they got into it, is for the patient care side.
