What does documentation cost your clinic?
Set your own numbers below. The page shows the hours your clinic spends on records and what that time is worth, with the arithmetic in plain sight.
It is widely reported that clinicians spend close to two hours on records for every hour of direct care. Your clinic will have its own numbers. Put them in and see what the typing currently costs. We claim no percentage saved here. The result is simply what documentation costs you today, and our published price sits beside it for comparison.
12 consultations at 8 minutes is 96 minutes of documentation a day. Across 5 working days that is 8 hours a week per clinician, 416 hours a year, and 1,248 hours across 3 clinicians. At £100 an hour, that time costs £124,800 a year.
For context, wai Clinician is $250 per clinician monthly, published in full on our pricing page. Hold your result next to it and decide for yourself.
Questions about the assumptions
Where do the default numbers come from?
The defaults describe a small private clinic. Three clinicians, twelve consultations a day, eight minutes of documentation each, five working days. It is widely reported that clinicians spend close to two hours on records for every hour of direct care, so if anything the defaults are gentle. Set your own numbers and the page recalculates as you move each control.
Does the calculator assume any savings?
No. It shows what documentation currently costs you, nothing more. We do not claim a percentage saved. The published wai price sits beside your result so you can make the comparison yourself.
What does the currency toggle change?
The symbol only. You set the hourly cost of clinical time yourself, so no exchange rate is applied and the arithmetic is identical in either currency.
