Manual Healthcare Processes

The $265 Billion Productivity Crisis Killing Your Agency

Manual healthcare processes waste 40% of healthcare workers’ time on repetitive tasks like data entry, documentation, and billing that should be automated, costing the industry $265 billion annually.

It’s Tuesday, 2:47 PM. Jennifer, your billing coordinator, is on hour THREE of matching EVV records to payroll. Same spreadsheet. Same 15 browser tabs. Same soul-crushing manual process she does every. single. week.

Meanwhile, your best nurse just gave notice. Reason? “I became a nurse to care for patients, not spend 4 hours daily on paperwork.”

This is Tangleware™ in action—and it’s destroying your agency one manual process at a time.

What Is an Example of a Manual Process?

The Tuesday Payroll Nightmare:

Jennifer prints timesheets, logs into multiple systems, compares, updates Excel, calls caregivers, and re-enters data into payroll. Billing repeats it all.
 Total: 3.5 hours | 35% error | 3–5 days delay.

Other Manual Process Examples:

Documentation:

Paper notes → EMR → print → scan → upload

Scheduling:

Paper calendar → call → Excel → text → EMR

Medication Management:

Compare lists manually → call pharmacy → update

Billing:

Print → code → mail → track in spreadsheets

What Are Healthcare Processes?

Healthcare processes are systematic workflows required to deliver patient care and manage operations—but 70% remain manual despite automation tools.

Five Core Process Categories:
Category Description Manual Reality
Clinical Assessment, diagnosis, treatment, documentation 4.5 hrs/day lost
Operational Scheduling, staffing, routing 2.8 hrs/day lost
Administrative Admissions, discharge, referrals 3.5 hrs/admission
Financial Billing, claims, collections 5.1 hrs/day
Compliance Reporting, credentialing 2.4 hrs/day

One patient visit touches all five categories, yet agencies use 10–15 disconnected systems requiring manual handoffs.

What Is a Manual Processing Method?

Any workflow that requires human intervention for repetitive tasks that technology could handle automatically—the essence of Tangleware™.

Common Manual Processing Methods in Healthcare
Method Time Wasted Error Rate Monthly Cost
Paper forms → System entry 45 min/form 23% $4,200
Copy-paste between systems 3.2 hrs/day 18% $3,500
Phone scheduling 2.5 hrs/day 15% $2,750
Excel tracking Aggregated outcomes, trends Missed risk prediction 30% value-based penalties
Manual reconciliation 16 hrs/week 31% $2,240
Fax communication 1.5 hrs/day 12% $1,650

Total Monthly Loss: $17,420

Home Care Revenue Leakage

The Hidden Crisis When Communication Chaos Costs Thousands

Your agency loses money every single day to family communication problems in home care. Not metaphorically—literally. While you’re juggling texts, emails, phone calls, and sticky notes across 10-15 different systems, critical information falls through the cracks. Medications get missed. Families get frustrated. Caregivers burn out.

This isn't just poor communication—it's Tangleware™, and it's bleeding your agency dry.
