Clinical Operations Optimization
PFDO: Productivity Function Decomposition & Optimization
The AI platform designed to combat physician burnout by structurally **delegating 20% or more of administrative burden** to the Asterlight Intelligence Engine (AIE).
The Real Problem: The Administrative Tax on Clinicians
Physicians are spending nearly half their time on non-clinical, administrative tasks, leading to unsustainable burnout rates, high turnover, and reduced patient capacity. Current solutions offer generic help, but fail to fundamentally restructure the clinical workflow.
-
Context Switching: Constant interruption between patient care and administrative clicks destroys efficiency and focus.
-
Burnout Risk: The overwhelming cognitive load of documentation and inbox management drives top talent to reduce hours or leave the profession.
The PFDO Solution: AIE Decomposition
PFDO utilizes the Asterlight Intelligence Engine (AIE) to algorithmically break down every clinical task (from chart review to order entry) into its smallest functional components, identifying which 20%+ can be reliably and safely delegated to autonomous AI.
- Granular Task Decomposition (The Moat).
- Autonomous EHR Navigation and Task Execution.
- Measurable Increase in Clinician Retention.
PFDO's Impact on Clinical Operations
Maximize Clinical Capacity
Free up significant physician time by offloading mundane tasks like chart abstraction, referral coordination, and structured documentation, allowing for more patient-facing or high-value activities.
Mitigate Burnout & Improve Retention
Directly reduce the cognitive burden associated with EHR management, translating to higher job satisfaction, fewer errors, and measurable improvements in clinician retention rates.
Streamline Inbasket Triage
The AIE intelligently handles routine inbox queries and orders, prioritizing urgent requests and preparing draft responses/actions for physician approval, reducing inbox overwhelm.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does PFDO handle clinical workflow change management?
PFDO is designed for minimal disruption. The AIE integrates directly into existing EHR workflows and executes tasks with physician oversight. Our deployment includes training and monitoring to ensure smooth adoption and demonstrate immediate, positive impact on time savings, building clinician trust quickly.
What data is required to run the WAD and train the PFDO system?
The WAD requires EHR activity logs and timestamped task data (masked of PHI) to analyze current time-on-task allocation. Training the PFDO system requires secure, temporary access to clinical task flows to teach the AIE the correct execution steps, always with a strong emphasis on data privacy and security protocols.
How do you measure the ROI of PFDO implementation?
Success is measured across three primary metrics: 1) **Physician Time Saved** (quantified hours delegated to AI), 2) **Retention Rate Improvement** (correlated with reduced administrative burden), and 3) **Patient Capacity Increase** (quantified by increased visit volume or improved time-per-patient quality).
