An AMA survey reveals 40% of physicians consider leaving their current positions within two years, highlighting a critical issue in healthcare. Factors driving this include burnout and feeling undervalued. Addressing clerical burdens through smart technology use, such as AI for EHR note drafting, and fostering a supportive work environment are key strategies. These measures aim to allow physicians to focus more on patient care and feel more valued in their roles.

To all my trauma clinical colleagues, I highly recommend reading about why clinical leaders should embrace innovation, especially during this pivotal time as trauma registries transition from manual data entry applications to fully integrated systems with Electronic Health Records (EHRs). With automated data interoperability and APIs for coding and soon data submission, we can achieve significantly improved data quality and faster access to benchmarking. When executed correctly, these advancements lead to enhanced patient outcomes. https://lnkd.in/eVuiEvXJ

I often wonder if those who came up with the MYHR strategy understood how the commercial brain works and what drives these companies. Expecting everyone to get onboard and invest in this MYHR for the good of the patient may have been a little naive . Having an interoperability strategy that expects patients to ask for their data to be uploaded every time they visit a provider is not going to work where time is money. As a result no one in Australia has a connected longitudinal health record in 2024. With clean connected data now more critical than ever it’s time to realise this strategy has failed all Australians and throwing good money after bad isn’t going to fix it. We need a strategy that gives patients their data at the point of care wherever they go using standards and it needs to be legislated. Time to get tough! #strategy He states that “episodic approaches don’t provide the breadth of data necessary for an evidence-based approach to quality care.” Access to and use of longitudinal records is particularly important for patients with chronic conditions, as the independent physician can quickly access important clinical data to help manage chronic conditions and easily schedule follow-up appointments to address any potential gaps in care.

Empowering Patients: A Guide to Effective Counseling In healthcare, clear communication and understanding are vital for successful patient outcomes. Here's how to create a comprehensive patient counseling approach that fosters trust and empowers them throughout their journey: 1. Listen First: Uncover the Patient's Story Begin by actively listening to the patient's medical history. This is the foundation for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment. 2. Capture Key Points: Build a Strong Foundation Take detailed notes, summarizing critical aspects of the patient's history. This strengthens your clinical reasoning and helps you draw accurate conclusions. 3. Deep Dive: Analyze for Personalized Treatment Conduct a thorough assessment of the patient's condition to craft the most effective treatment plan. Think beyond the symptoms and address the root cause. 4. Collaborative Diagnosis: Transparency Builds Trust Clearly communicate the diagnosis in a way the patient understands. Explain the rationale behind the chosen treatment strategy, fostering a sense of partnership. 5. Goal Setting: A Roadmap to Success Work together to establish both short-term and long-term goals. Setting achievable milestones boosts motivation and allows for progress tracking. 6. Demystifying Treatment: A Step-by-Step Guide Educate the patient about every step of their treatment journey. Provide a clear roadmap, managing expectations and reducing anxiety. 7. Personalized Exercise: Tailored for Optimal Results Based on the patient's assessment, design individualized exercise programs supported by evidence-based practices. 8. Do's and Don'ts: Clear Instructions for Healing Offer a comprehensive list of activities to embrace and those to avoid. This empowers patients to actively participate in their healing process. 9. Lifestyle Modifications: Investing in Long-Term Health Recommend lifestyle changes specific to the condition to enhance treatment effectiveness and promote overall well-being. By following these steps, we create a patient-centered approach built on empathy and education. This not only leads to successful recovery but also empowers patients to manage their health for the long term. #PatientEmpowerment #HealthcareCommunication #Physiotherapy #PatientEducation #HolisticCare

Recent study published by JAMA regarding provider time spent on EHR’s. This is particularly interesting to me as I currently work on a project pertaining to this exact topic and how patient outcomes are impacted by provider EHR utilization patterns. #populationhealth

Top clinician suggestions to relieve burnout include: team-based care that spreads the load of patient care; optimizing EHR workflows; and reducing documentation by reexamining reimbursement and administrative processes and improving the interoperability of medical records. https://lnkd.in/g8dqYKKM
