For modern hospital systems, administrative friction is no longer just a nuisance—it is a financial and human crisis. Administrative costs now constitute over 40% of total expenses, growing at 87.2%—outpacing direct care expenditures and acting as the primary catalyst for the 49% global burnout rate among clinicians.

When discharge logistics fail, the entire system "backs up." Patients wait in the Emergency Department because upstairs beds are occupied by individuals who are medically cleared but "logistically stranded." This "Bed Block" drains revenue, increases variable costs, and creates a hazardous environment for staff and patients alike.
