Ideal clinical workflow in urgent care!

Hey everyone,

Like many family physicians in Canada, I have worked in various different clinical settings. After I graduate from residency in 2017 my weeks were split between outpatient family medicine, hospitalist, palliative care and surgical assist.

I briefly did a few emergency medicine shifts and took care of my own patients as they transitioned to nursing homes. 

In 2019 I transitioned to full time hospitalist, as I moved away for family reasons I started working in urgent care, hospitalist and nursing home. I have been fortunate to spend considerable time in each of the above settings and here are my thoughts on my ideal clinical work flow in urgent care.

I will be sharing my ideal clinical workflow in the other settings over the next few weeks. Like most of my colleagues my ideal workflow is contingent on the majority of my time being spent on talking to my patients and making clinical decisions.
In an ideal world I am not dragged into everything else that is a part of the clinical visit. 
 

Thank you for reading,
