Why doctors can sometimes be their own worst enemies

“I don’t have the time … I don’t get reimbursed for that.”  This is an all too common refrain from primary care physicians and practice managers when ever the subject of improving physician-patient communications comes up.

I get it.   Primary care physicians in particular are under tremendous pressure to produce.   Just imagine, physicians in small primary care practices spend about 3.5 hours per week just on dealing with insurance-related paperwork.  Then there’s keeping up with recommended treatment guidelines, journals, and IT issues and routine staffing issues — not to mention routine patient care, much of which they in fact don not get paid for.  Physicians do have it rough right now.

But doctors can sometimes be their own worst enemies.
