Kapazitätsverlust durch ineffiziente manuelle Ergebnisdokumentation

Definition

Australian Digital Health Agency standards for Remote Patient Monitoring and electronic health records require that outcome data and remote observations be stored in structured digital form and integrated with local records.[3] Many outpatient centres collect outcomes via paper questionnaires, phone calls, or device portals that then require manual transcription into electronic medical records or spreadsheets. Digital patient flow and queue platforms in Australia explicitly market that digitising forms and automating data capture reduce administrative burden and improve efficiency, signalling that manual processes are a current pain.[5][7][10] Logic-based time‑and‑motion estimates: If 5 clinicians each spend 30–45 minutes per day on duplicate outcome entry and reconciliation (e.g., between RPM platform, EMR, and reporting spreadsheets), this is 2.5–3.75 hours/day or about 50–75 hours/month. At a conservative fully loaded clinician cost of AUD 120/hour, this represents AUD 6,000–9,000 per month, or AUD 72,000–108,000 per year in capacity lost that could otherwise be allocated to billable consultations.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Outpatient providers in Australia 🇦🇺 waste 40–80 clinician hours per month on manual patient outcome entry and reconciliation. Automation and integration of outcome capture free up capacity for several hundred additional billable consults per year.
