[Alma]

: I work in an area of health care management that tracks workload data. Our finished products help doctors and staff justify their positions and equipment, and help fight for new jobs. Why then, do doctors refuse to do the paperwork that provides the numbers we use to help them? Weekly, I have providers call me a ‘damn bean counter,’ blow off sending us important numbers and complain at meetings about having to fill out reports. Then when they can’t get the personnel they need for patient care, they rant and rave that all their work is ignored. I know brillant doctors sometimes have odd personalities, but, c’mon folks, where’s the common sense?

I am a physician. Perhaps the reason you get such poor response and the secondary derogatory remarks is in response to the manner of your inquiry. In other words, briefly explain what you are doing and how it will benefit them. Physicians are required to feel out more paperwork than most people realize. Perhaps your previous requests were seen as burdensome because your intentions/ purpose was unclear. Best of luck,
