NCAFP Administrative Burden Survey Outcomes and Next Steps
Introduction Many NCAFP members recently completed a survey on administrative burdens family physicians face in practice. Everyone knows that administrative burdens have increased in healthcare, but the questions centered around the biggest pain points and key actions the NCAFP can take on a state level. We asked and you answered. Here are some of the survey’s findings and the actions the NCAFP Advocacy Committee is recommending to the NCAFP Board as we move forward to address these results. (NOTE: At the time of this writing, the board had yet to meet and fully address the survey results and recommendations, but we wanted to share a preliminary update with our members as soon as possible. This article was in press at the time of the next scheduled Board Meeting on August 7th.)
