Why has the ratio of administrators to doctors increased so much?
In: Other
I would challenge your position here and offer up that at least at my healthcare organization, the amount of administrative leaders (managers, directors, executives) are actually not increasing faster than the number of clinicians and front line staff. There is an increase in support staff such as call center, referral and authorization, EMR experts, etc. The reason for increases in those groups include, a growing patient population, growing requirements of insurance companies, and a growing use of technology to automate healthcare processes.
