Healthcare IT leaders are tasked with ensuring physicians are satisfied and productive with the technology in place to do their jobs. Beyond the tools needed to deliver and document care, there are operational requirements that impact costs, job satisfaction, patient access, and ultimately care quality. Workforce management is often overlooked in a sea of pressing priorities, yet it plays a crucial role in optimizing the organization's most expensive resource: physicians.
