Organization help for new grad

Specialties NP

Published

I have been in a specialty practice for 3 months. Love my job and we just recently moved to a new office. I now have my own office-which should help with organization. Until I get closer to having a full schedule-I won't have a nurse. I currently call pts with their lab results until I get a nurse. I am not ADHD at all, but am struggling to find a system that works. One that incorporates staying on top of labs and worklist, calling pts, dictation and then editing dictation, etc. Any suggestions of what has worked for those of you that have been out for a while---is much appreciated. Thanks!

I have 2 nurses but you're not taking them! I use Dragon Speak for my charting.

Your EMR should help with organization. If you are not using one, I suggest pushing it in your office, Practice Fusion appears to be the leading brand, plays nice with most lab vendors, e-prescribing.

I used to have a multi-stack organizer with STAT, today, tomorrow and this week labels. Some how, things still went missing, delayed or misplaced, human error. Got a tall, sturdy bookshelf next to my desk, each shelf with these labels and file, pending. It helped.

The EMR has changed my life for the better. No more huge charts laying on my desk.

Good luck!

Thanks. We are totally paperless. We are going to EPIC in September. I appreciate your suggestions...
