NEJM Article on Reducing Administrative Costs Cites HCFO Researcher’s Work

In their New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) article [1]on the possibilities and challenges of reducing administrative costs in the health care system, David Cutler, Ph.D., and colleagues reference work [2]from HCFO researcher Lawrence Casalino, M.D., Ph.D., Weill Cornell Medical Center. The NEJM article references Casalino’s finding, that the average U.S. physician spends 43 minutes a day interacting with health plans, as evidence of the burden of administrative tasks in our health care system.
