Use of Staff
I request to be paired with experienced technicians who are familiar with the practice flow, medications, protocols, costs, etc. Every practice is different and this will greatly aid my efficiency. I will delegate whenever I am able to - while I can perform technical duties, I feel that my time is better spent performing tasks that a technician is unable to do.
Patient Behavior and Safety
I practice and strongly encourage the use of minimal restraint techniques and positive reinforcement. I treat all of my patients with respect and interact with them in a gentle manner. This sometimes means that particularly stressed or aggressive patients may be sent home with trazodone and/or gabapentin and asked to return at a future date to help keep both staff members and patients safe and happy.
I particularly love using peanut butter and Cheese Whiz to help motivate patient cooperation!
Appointments and Medical Records
I typically see up to 2-3 patients per hour, depending on case complexity. Routinely booking beyond this caseload may result in a high density caseload fee for future relief bookings.
I aim to keep up with my medical records as the day progresses and to finish patient records before starting the next appointment. Appropriate delegation of support staff helps me to achieve this goal. My medical records are thorough and complete so that the next doctor to manage a case can easily continue where I left off.
Practice Guidelines
I practice evidence based medicine and strive to follow AAHA guidelines. If your practice deviates from these guidelines, I request that technicians be knowledgeable enough to discuss your policies with clients, and I reserve the right to practice at my own comfort level.
