Voici comment vous pouvez gagner du temps dans votre pratique médicale quotidienne.

Implementing EHR systems saves time by centralizing patient information, streamlining documentation, and facilitating easier communication among healthcare providers. Automation of tasks like appointment scheduling and clinical decision support tools also helps in making informed decisions efficiently. This allows healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.

EHR is helpful to certain extent. Make sure to incorporate right information and not necessarily lengthy one in your note. Keep in succinct. Incorporate dot phrases. Make sure you don’t keep work left at the end of the day. Leave 5-10 mins to complete notes after each visits. Keep it simple and easy to understand. Aesthetically pleasing note has no value, don’t waste time in that.

I agree that embracing technology is the best movement forward. Once the task is embraced, the changes will be more readily accepted and understood. In doing so users are shown the importance of how these progressive actions and processes can facilitate continued growth, improved positive patient experiences leading to greater overall health and well being.

Effective design and workflows in EMR's have been able to reduce redundant work to the tune of 38% and improve access to critical information up to 83%

Absolutely! Embracing technology in medical practices is transformative. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) provide quick access to comprehensive patient data, cutting down on administrative tasks. Scheduling software optimizes appointment management, reducing inefficiencies and gaps. Telemedicine platforms further enhance convenience by enabling remote consultations, saving travel time for both patients and providers. Integrating these tech tools not only streamlines operations but also elevates the quality of patient care.

It is important to ensure that both physician and staff are aware of each other's "scope" within the organization or medical practice. I say this because very often we see Physicians expecting the MA to work as a scribe and in some cases as an LPN however, the scope of practice based on the job role limits the ability to provide that level of support but through effectively communicating the expectation and plan, delegation of work can be very easy.

Individual clinicians are great clinical specialists but poor delegators. Their desire to control outcomes doesn't lead to nurturing of leadership under them. Thus not able to establish trust easily, leading to poor time management.

Delegation is essential for effective time management in medical practices. By assigning administrative tasks and preliminary assessments to trained staff, physicians can focus more on their primary role of diagnosing and treating patients. Trusting and empowering your team to handle responsibilities like filing and scheduling not only optimizes workflow but also enhances overall patient care.

Streamlining communication can lead to significant time savings in your daily practice. Establish clear channels for communication with both staff and patients. Use secure messaging apps for quick updates or questions, and set specific times for team briefings to avoid constant interruptions. Incorporating mobile asynchronous HPI acquisition can further enhance this by allowing patients to submit their medical history at their convenience, ensuring that you have comprehensive information ahead of appointments. Efficient communication, combined with advanced data collection methods, reduces misunderstandings and repetitive conversations, allowing you to maintain a smooth and responsive medical practice.

I agree. Anticipating the needs of the physician is important. In most cases and when posible, a quick huddle at the start of the day with the care team can eliminate and issues with supplies and staffing support needed.

Afin de mieux organiser ses journées: 1- plannifier ses rdvs sur une journée en fonction de vos performances. Les soins nécessitant de la concentration et de l'énergie, plutôt le matin; le reste l'après midi ou en fin de journée. 2- les plateaux techniques, organisés en amont avec tout le consommable nécessaire et matériau à utiliser, ce simple geste, fait gagner du temps, évite les oublis et permet d'être plus efficace et de rester concentré. 3- Systématiser, votre communication: introduction, developpment du traitement avec un temps pour les questions du patient et clôture. Idem pour le secrétariat avec un arbre décisionnel pour la gestion des rdvs, notamment les urgences, avec des questions fermées pour guider le patient au tel...
