I have 23 inboxes – and it’s taking time away from my patients
Old-school doctors such as me used to give the vast majority of our time and attention to our patients.
Documentation took very little time.
Our support staff sorted all incoming data: lab results, X-rays, consults and hospital reports.
They would prioritise things for us: courtesy copies to just sign, tests we ordered that came back normal, tests with abnormal results, and so on.
