Comfort Keepers Ireland Highlights Urgent Need for Scaling Safe, Regulated Home Support

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the urgent need for scaling safe and regulated home support services in Ireland, as highlighted by a recent report from Comfort Keepers Ireland. With the aging population, the demand for home support services is increasing rapidly.

AskLuci.io Releases Whitepaper Examining Hidden Administrative Work Costing Allied Health Clinics More Than Money

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses a groundbreaking whitepaper released by AskLuci.io, an Australian operational intelligence company. The report highlights the hidden administrative burdens that are silently impacting the financial health and sustainability of allied health clinics. Contrary to the common belief that clinic stress is primarily driven by patient demand or individual effort, the paper identifies fragmented administrative systems and unmeasured workflow as structural issues that quietly increase operational costs, delay cash flow, and place ongoing physical and cognitive strain on clinical and administrative teams.
AskLuci.io's research introduces a new operational indicator — Administrative Minutes per Completed Appointment — which measures the administrative work required to move a single appointment from first contact through to final payment. The findings reveal that this metric varies widely across clinics and is often higher than expected, with tasks like booking management, billing, and follow-ups spread across disconnected systems. This lack of visibility leads to compounded administrative effort, delayed payments, and increased staff strain. The whitepaper emphasizes the need for operational visibility and system design improvements to ensure the financial health and workforce sustainability of allied health clinics.
