I am certain that the percentage of my CLINICAL time (we're excluding primary teaching/lecturing and research/administrative) is divided about 90% evaluating patients, discussing their care plans with my colleagues, doing procedures on them and talking to them and their families and about 10% (at most) doing paperwork. So, I'd say that, as I define it, the ratio of helping to paperwork for ME is about 9:1.
For trainees in my field, the paperwork percentage is undoubtedly higher and of course, my experiences only reflect my personal clinical practice. In general, I'd say my attending colleagues, IN MY FIELD, both new attendings and elderly physicians like me, spend 10-20% of their time on paperwork and 80-90% of the time doing direct patient care as I've defined it. Sometimes, in an academic setting, these merge (e.g. writing notes while talking....
) making exact ratios difficult to calculate.
The burden of paperwork for ME has increased slightly over the last 10 years, most of the big increase occurred about 8-10 years ago, there's been little change in the "paperwork" rules for what I do in the last 5-8 years.
Again, I cannot speak for others and do not mean to generalize my description.
