The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In pediatric surgery, attending physicians and their coordinators lose valuable time drafting referral letters, updating patient records in Epic, and tracking referral status in Excel. Each referral means copying patient histories, searching for up-to-date specialist contacts, and manually logging outcomes. These repetitive tasks pile up, making it easy for follow-ups to slip through the cracks and for important details to be missed.

Time wasted

4-5 hours/week

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

Money lost

$11,000-$13,500/year

In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.

If you keep ignoring it

Ignoring this problem leads to delayed specialist appointments, increased risk of compliance issues, and potential gaps in patient care. Over time, burnout rises and critical follow-ups are missed, impacting both outcomes and reputation.
