CSI-RI Best Practice Sharing Conference February 18, 2011 Marcus Welby, Robo Doc or Someplace in Between: Creating Clinical Sessions That Work For You
What We Don’t Talk About Why Do Some Providers Run On Time and Others Are Always Behind? Is It Personal Style? Is It A System Issue? Be Ready To Take Notes
Why am I having a bad day? You don’t have the information you need when you step into the exam room? Your EHR isn’t facilitating the visit with prompts and a simple documentation process? Your network or EHR or related programs (e.g., SureScripts) is going down too often? Your patient isn’t informed / motivated / activated? You aren’t compensated enough to provide the care you want to?
Why am I having a bad day? You have too many interruptions? You aren’t focused enough, e.g, you socialize too much with pts., staff, other Drs. You’re too sleepy to be efficient You haven’t created an effective clinical team so that you can concentrate on more complex medical issues? You just haven’t allotted sufficient time for the visit?
