Question

A physician in your group frequently does not input patient notes immediately after seeing the patient as required by hospital policy. In your large facility this disrupts patient flow as they travel from department to department. As the lead HIS individual you must speak to this physician and help him understand the importance of inputting notes quickly, and how slow entry disrupts the facility flow. How would you handle this situation? Include any references that you may use to outside sources.

Answer 1

As a healthcare person, the main aim is to give proper compliance to the patient, if any problem is arising due to someone or any physician, we must talk to him or tell him about the problem he is causing to the pateint, directly or indirectly. Due to the late input of pateints note causes problem not only for the patient but also for the other staff and this will lead a bad impact of the hospital as well as of the staff. The physician should be politely informed about his delayed work, so that he may work properly. He must understand that the dignity of the hospital can be in danger. Patient may be suffering from many of the problems and symptoms and due to late response, it may cause the situation worse. A good hospital needs proper functioning and maintenance and all the staff work and should co-operate.
