A question highlighted below.

Unions used to be criticized for "featherbedding". In Canadian health care, administrators are forcing featherbedding-like activities on clinicians, when most would prefer to do worthwhile clinical work rather than pointless and time-consuming make work. 

Recently proposed innovations in health services delivery often suggest using more clinicians to care for an individual, not fewer. One consequence is reduced access, for most of us, to personalized clinical care.  

Administrators reduced family physician access to emergency departments and hospital beds. Consequently, specialists are forced to do work that personal physicians used to do, and that do not necessarily require their specialized training or expertise.

Primitive and inefficient health records reduce the amount of time clinicians have to care for people. Adding insult to this injury these systems do not use the health record data for the kind of predictive modeling so common in most industries. Amazon can predict which books you are most likely to buy in the next year, and prompt you to buy them.  Canadian health services either cannot or do not routinely predict which illnesses you are likely to get in the next five years, and they don't routinely prompt people to do the things that would help avoid a dire prediction.

Enough for now. I'm certain many readers of this list will be able to come up with a short or long list of things that would reduce clinician time, and also make health care more effective and efficient. Adopting these innovations would enable more people to be cared for by the clinicians who are practicing now.
