What a Room Full of Independent Practice Owners Taught Us About Technology, Burnout, and Getting It Right

What the 'Highly Paid Administrator' Problem Is Really Costing You
By Tracy Cherpeski
You know the math by now. If you're a physician spending fifteen hours a week on prior authorizations, inbox triage, and scheduling snarls, you're doing thirty-dollar-an-hour work at a several-hundred-dollar-an-hour rate. I call this the highly paid administrator problem, and I've written and spoken about it for years, because it's the single most common pattern I see in independent practices.
What a Room Full of Providers Taught Me About Being Human

You say you want a thriving practice. A team that runs without you. Time with your family that doesn’t feel stolen. Space to actually breathe.
And I believe you.
So why does it feel like the harder you work, the further away it gets?
In my 15+ years of coaching — and the last several working exclusively with healthcare practice owners — I’ve seen the same pattern again and again. The problem isn’t your team. It isn’t your systems. It isn’t even the insurance model or the staffing market or the economy.
It’s the grip.

What 12 Healthcare Leaders Taught Me About Future-Proofing in 2026
Last week, I had the privilege of facilitating a conversation that confirmed something I've suspected for years: most strategic plans fail not because they're bad plans, but because they treat interconnected forces as separate issues.
On January 27, we brought together three expert practitioners for a 90-minute virtual roundtable on Future-Proofing Healthcare Leadership in 2026. We had 12 engaged healthcare leaders join us live, and the conversation that unfolded was exactly what I'd hoped for - practical, honest, and immediately actionable.
Here's what we discovered together.
