More administrators than physicians

Updated on

This chart nails a big problem: more healthcare admins than doctors. The people doing the work are now outnumbered by the people managing the work. That’s a warning sign for any business or marketing team.

Marketing analysis

The graph shows exponential growth in administrators while physician growth barely moves. In marketing, this happens when companies pile on managers, meetings, and reports but forget to add more creators or people doing real work.

Why it works

  • Simple visual contrast tells the whole story at a glance
  • Highlights imbalance through data, not opinion
  • Sparks emotion (“Wait…why are there more admins than doctors?”)
  • Easy to translate to other industries

Examples

  • Startups that scale management faster than product updates stall growth
  • Agencies with more account managers than designers slow output
  • Some Fortune 500 companies now have layers of “strategy” teams but few people producing campaigns
