Redefining the 21st-century healthcare provider-patient experience

This article has been republished from the Nuance Healthcare What’s Next Blog.


The current standard for 21st-century healthcare delivery is in flux, with unique challenges preventing care teams from ensuring high-quality, patient-centered care. Many of the challenges are fundamental, interconnected, and share a consistent factor: clinical documentation burden. Physicians today are looking for more than the status quo—they want intuitive, innovative solutions that redefine the healthcare experience for patients, providers, and administrators alike.

The intersection of challenges confronting providers, patients, and administrators

Clinician burnout, hindered care team communication, declining patient satisfaction, increased financial pressures, growing administrative demands, and obstacles to effective care delivery—each of these issues has profound repercussions and requires advanced leadership, solutions, and innovative foresight to address.

Physicians, administrators, and their organizations face significant obstacles that multiply and intensify every year. Time-consuming documentation requirements, central to our healthcare system’s operations and the reimbursements physicians and health systems receive, have become a thorn in the side of many providers – making it increasingly difficult to deliver the consistently high-quality care for which they strive and patients deserve.
