Clinical resources remain constrained on every level.

Consider the following:

- The nursing workforce lost more than 100,000 nurses in a single year — the largest drop in the last four [decades](https://www.healthaffairs.org/content/forefront/worrisome-drop-number-young-nurses).
- Patients wait an average of 26 days for a doctor’s [appointment](https://www.wsha.org/wp-content/uploads/mha2022waittimesurveyfinal.pdf), and 18 minutes in the waiting room after arriving for that [appointment](https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/sponsored/how-patient-wait-times-affect-customer-satisfaction).
- More than 60% of physicians report weekly exhaustion and depersonalization from [burnout](https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(22)00515-8/fulltext). 95% of nurses have felt burned out within the past three [years](https://nursingcecentral.com/nurse-burnout-study-2021/).

With unprecedented levels of clinician burnout and exodus from the field, and an increasingly aging and more complex patient population, healthcare systems must treat more patients in less time without sacrificing quality and personal attention while, at the same time, empowering patients to be accountable for their health and well-being.

## Personalized care for personalized needs

Not every patient requires the same amount of time or attention. But few healthcare organizations have systems and processes in place to manage by exception, focusing clinical resources in the areas where they are most needed in the current moment and personalizing the care and interventions appropriately for each patient according to their unique needs.

Fortunately, implementing an [EHR-integrated personalized care strategy](https://validic.com/case-studies/a-guide-to-personalized-care-for-the-population/) allows care teams to leverage remotely captured patient data for all patients in whatever way makes the most sense. Care teams don’t have enough time in the day to handle their current workloads. This is why automated remote data capture and EHR integration is so critical to maximizing clinician time and resources.
