ACP highlights value of easing administrative tasks at HHS meeting
At a meeting held by HHS Secretary Tom Price, MD, to examine the impact of government requirements on the clinician-patient relationship, ACP emphasized the importance of reducing excessive administrative tasks, according to a press release.Earlier this year, ACP published a position paper reinforcing its “patients before paperwork” initiative, which provides a framework to guide physicians in evaluating administrative tasks and offers several recommendations to alleviate or eliminate their adverse effects on physicians, their patients and the health care system.
