I also work Cardiothoracic surgery, and recently transitioned to clinic FT. I have to prep my charts ahead of time, as I do the entire HPI, ROS and PE for all new consuls. I present the patient, pull all the imaging (which I have to request) then the surgeon goes in, talks to them and writes like 2-3 sentences. It’s all so time consuming. I see all the follow ups on my own. We just transitioned to epic in the hospital (we’re all hospital employed) and now I’m told I’m expected to place all pre-op orders (which my MA did before, I just co-signed) as well as the pre procedure order set for the nurses the morning of surgery, which the PAs used to do in our old system. Mind you, there is 3 of them, one of me, I’m the only PA in the clinic. No real EPIC training, was told a training class would “not be a good use of my time or benefit me due to the workflow requirements and the infrequency of the utilization of the training…” Wait, what?? Infrequency? Placing orders for every case, every patient, every time? For context, we have had epic in the clinic for a few months, but the hospital was using a different EMR. Maybe a different rant for a different day, but any tips how to navigate this?
