The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

Orthopedic surgeons in hospital and private practice spend 4-5 hours weekly entering patient histories into Epic, emailing staff for surgery scheduling, and tracking imaging results in Excel. These repetitive tasks drain clinical time and increase the risk of missed details or delayed treatments. The manual workload means less time for surgical planning and patient interaction, and more stress for physicians.

Time wasted

4-5 hours/week

Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.

Money lost

If you keep ignoring it

Ignoring this leads to delayed surgeries, overlooked test results, and higher risk of burnout. Missed documentation can trigger compliance issues and lower patient satisfaction scores.
