Healthcare administration consumes 30-40% of healthcare spending in the United States—over $1 trillion annually. Physicians spend 2+ hours on documentation for every hour of patient care, leading to burnout and reduced quality of care.
The administrative burden includes patient documentation, insurance claims, compliance reporting, quality metrics, and endless regulatory requirements. Healthcare workers are drowning in paperwork while patients wait longer for care.
Wave AI is transforming healthcare administration. Organizations using Wave are reducing administrative time by 80%, improving documentation quality, and allowing healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most: patient care.
