Re: Common Office Irritants

[Guest guest]

Calling back, pharmacies etc,and they expect you to have the reference number handy .Sangeetha

 

Interruptions of any type are the worst.I have a sign re: refills.  To make sure you request during office visit and/or call 3 days in advance.

 

Excluding system-wide issues such as low

reimbursement & thinking of those little

things at the office that get under your

skin . . .

Anyone care to share their top 3 irritants?

..

MINE:

1. My all-time top irritant: Refill requests.

Solved this by only filling during appts.

2. I used to hate interruptions during OVs

but as an IMP it rarely happens as I control

my office setting and have no staff knocking

on doors . . .

3. Phone calls. By separating emergent/urgent

calls to my cell & all else to landline & email

I rarely have inappropriate cell calls from pts.

Disclosure: I'm leading free retreats for physicians

next month and through the winter . . . & as part of the

workshop we're covering simple solutions for common

office irritants. Just making sure I'm comprehensive.
