Administrative Bloat in Neurology and Academic Medicine.

Administrative work has grown across universities, health care, and research, and a neurology department should evaluate administrative processes using five targeted questions.

• Why it matters: The viewpoint addresses concerns that increasing administration may burden neurology departments and academic medicine, creating uncertainty about what processes are necessary and effective.
• What they did: It outlines a framework for neurology departments to review administrative processes by asking five questions about how each process functions and what it requires.
• The result: The proposed questions provide a practical checklist to guide neurology departments in assessing administrative bloat and improving decision-making around administrative work.
