Hi, and welcome to my website!
I am an emergency medicine physician with an interest in optimizing workflow efficiency and productivity. When I began working as an attending physician several years ago I found that I would routinely spend hours after my shifts completing my charts. This additional time spent on charting outside of my shifts was leaving me tired and irritable. I was on a path to burnout very early in my career.
I became interested in developing tools and strategies that would allow me to work as efficiently as possible during my shifts. My goal has been to finish my shifts on time, with all of my work completed, without sacrificing quality of care or documentation. Essentially, I want to make the most effective use of my time while at work.
The purpose of this website is to share what I’ve learned during my journey. These strategies and principles may be applicable to any healthcare setting but target providers working in an emergency department or urgent care setting, as there are the environments I am most familiar with. Hopefully these strategies will allow you to spend less time at work and more time living your life.
