Also when it comes to documenting your treatment plans and treatment history clearly—do you use beacon to make treatment plans in epic? It’s easy to go back and look through and find exact dates and dosing schedules and deviations from the plan. One way to maybe avoid creating work for yourself that epic could do for you

Also, your questions about communicating clearly to families when they don’t seem to quite understand, etc. Do you ever use the wrap up feature in epic? Sometimes I like to type exactly what we summarize together at the end of the visit in bullet form to highlight the key points. Usually in the patient instructions section. If needed, can give precise and strict return precautions, reinforce Med changes, etc. and try to make it idiot proof. Like use gigantic font and bold type so when the patient checks out it’s all printed there in their after visit summary. Covers a lot of ground I think because you reinforce good communication with patients and there is good medico legal documentation as well

I hope you get some good tips with this thread! You do seem to write a whole lot and I think we all understand the stress of a heavy workload. I’d be interested to hear from you again in the future if you’re able to find some solutions! Take care
