Here's how you can efficiently handle your workload and meet deadlines in a bustling medical practice.

Handling the workload and meeting deadlines in a bustling medical practice can be overwhelming, but that's where someone like me can make a significant difference. As a medical virtual assistant, I can streamline administrative tasks, manage patient appointments, handle billing, and ensure all paperwork is up to date, allowing you to focus more on patient care. With my support, you can efficiently manage your responsibilities and stay on top of your schedule, ultimately improving the practice's productivity and patient satisfaction.

It is better to train staff on new techniques and skills as you learn them. I have failed in this area, and it creates bottlenecks, and if you are continuously learning and adopting new techniques or technology it can become burdensome. I've had to stop new endeavors to get everyone caught up to make MY workflow manageable. I now in a good position with many new treatment options but it was. Rough ride doing too much at once. The basic rule is if it doesn't need your licensed skill, delegate and train. Slow down to speed up!

There are so many methods now. I have a network Lan messenger called Bluenote lights, instantly alerts the whole clinic via PC speakers, custom sounds so you know who is needed. Awesome tool for a clinic. Google sheets is great for 'live' to do lists and communication. Color the boxes to set priorities. Finding the right person to delegate to, and enforcing closed loop communication is difficult. Determine the learning style and knowledge level before you train. Giving clear step by step direction for the newbie, then task assignment with review, then independent staff assignment. It is critical to find your default teaching style. If you gravitate to your default you could be under training, or insulting someone competent.

I have 2 clinics, I know my IT inside and out. I setup servers, workstations, networks, and leverage tech to the max. I can remote in to any computer on either clinic, so I can work remotely, or fix things remotely, or even allow tech support access when I'm not in clinic. SECURITY is #1 priority. Get a company managing it, as well as backups and business continuity, alexioconnect does it all. Onsite and cloud backup, network and PC monitoring, and immediate shutdown of impacted machines. External DNS firewalls, Cisco Umbrella, once setup sends all internet traffic through their security servers. 3D tech is amazing, and can provide a higher level of care. AI I guess I need to tackle next.

I overwork, don't. Figure it out fast, it catches up to you. Lost family time, lost contact with friends and family, not worth it

Find dictation software, use the letter merge with templates, and Adobe to sign letters and Rx. Network print to the front office.
