Doctors work long hours, but surprisingly, much of that time is not dedicated to patient care — it goes to administrative work. According to American Medical Association data from 2024, physicians work 57.8 hours per week. Of those, 27 hours go to patient care and 13 hours to indirect care. The rest is spent on admin-related tasks.
In simple words, physicians are spending almosst more time on computers than on patient care. This is the core problem every medical practice is facing today, and AI-powered tools claim to fix it.
