Battling Provider Burnout with Smarter Workflows and Reclaiming Time to Care

Contents

Let's talk about burnout.

Over 50% of healthcare providers today report experiencing symptoms of burnout. The consequences are both personal and systemic—burnout compromises clinical decision-making, communication, empathy, and patient safety. As highlighted in our recent article in The Journal of Preventive and Complementary Medicine, factors such as prolonged screen time and documentation overload are among the leading causes of this crisis.

In this week’s video, I’ll walk you through how QHSLab is changing that story—offering a new support system through digital health technologies that take care of the paperwork so you can care for the patient.

Here’s How We’re Tackling It

  1. Patient-Centric Digital Intake
    1. Patients answer health assessments digitally before the visit.
    2. These responses are translated into clinical insights and suggest ICD-10 codes automatically.
  2. EHR-Integrated Workflows
    1. All the insights, alerts, and codes flow directly into the provider’s EHR—no toggling, no manual entry.
  3. Smarter Documentation = Less Screen Time
    1. Our next-generation reports reduce the need for chart review by clearly presenting longitudinal trends and follow-up suggestions.
  4. The ISP Advantage
    1. The Integrative Service Program (ISP) supports billing and care coordination workflows behind the scenes, removing administrative burdens from providers.

Why This Matters

  1. Reduces Administrative Overload: QHSLab returns precious minutes back to your day by streamlining documentation.
  2. Supports Mental Health: Less clerical stress means more mental space for what matters—listening to and helping patients.
  3. Protects Quality of Care: Fewer errors, more precise care plans, and better communication flow from a well-supported clinical team.

More intelligent workflows are part of the cure if burnout is the disease. Let’s use our tools—not just for our patients—but for ourselves and each other.
