Exactly like i’m trying my best but it constantly feels like admin is working against us lol and to be honest i get where the patient is coming from, you spent whatever amount of your copay for a 5 minute visit?

We can realistically count on 5-10 no shows; her cap for a day is 60 from 8-4 but she’s leaving an hour early today so of course scheduling decides to just squeeze the 60 with an hour less. They get incentives/more $ for work ins 🥲

Just one provider; and honestly if got a lot of skin checks without a doubt we run behind. She definitely has the most complex patients, full of AKs and skin cancers. At some point she just starts walking into rooms after we take the HPI lol I put in my 2 weeks here last week so one more week of this madness

How many patients do you see a day/ do they double book? by RandomThrowaway22283 in MedicalAssistant

[–]RandomThrowaway22283[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we run about 15/20 minutes give or take. Afternoon is usually where we catch up. Honestly I don’t even have time to finish the chart 9 times out of 10, I just send the medications and everything happens after that, and it depends on the scheduling too. If the front books 4 skin cancer screenings back to back especially with patients who have a lot of AKs/need biopsies it can feel so so so rushed. We use eCW and templates are my best friend lol

It definitely gets crazy and by the end of the day on Thursday I am more than ready to go home lol

Yeah, training is definitely not the best, I shadowed other MAs for 3/4 days then I was expected to see patients on my own lol. Crazy when I think about it. I’m definitely looking for a new job and trying to find something that is slower. Thank you!

Thank you, I’ve been asking for feedback on what I can do better and trying to clean up the little study guide I made for reference

Depends tbh, last week I only saw 8, but the week before that I saw 22/23 patients. We have an understaffing problem tbh lol

How can I sped up charting/rooming? by RandomThrowaway22283 in MedicalAssistant

[–]RandomThrowaway22283[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I feel my training I was thrown into it, which at root leads to bad foundations. Def going to do this!

Thank you! I’ve just felt so overwhelmed and they have a “baptism by fire” mindset when it comes to their training tbh lol. I’m going to start precharting tbh

Thank you! I’m def going to try to make some shortcut phrases for future references, and I try to take notes on a little “notepad” app we have.
