Personal Trainer or Preventative Health Coach? – LeON Health – Medium

I agree with him, that I think there is real opportunity here.

Why Doctors Are Burned Out by Busywork

This does hit home for me. As each year advances, I find myself having to deal with more and more paperwork and documentation while not being provided the time to complete it. Normally this would take time away from direct patient contact (and ::gasp:: eye contact), so as a bit of a small rebellion I refuse to type an any electronic device in front of a patient and engage them as much as I can. I find my patient-encounters being much more pleasant, however that often means I am stuck with mountains of documentation to be completed at the end of the day. Waiting for one of us to figure out the healthy balance.
