How do you manage multiple physician workloads and expectations?

To effectively manage multiple physician workloads and expectations, it's crucial to maintain clear communication, prioritize tasks, utilize technology, delegate when appropriate, allocate resources wisely, set realistic expectations and deadlines, promote work-life balance, conduct regular feedback and evaluations, address conflicts, focus on continuous improvement, and support physicians' professional development. This holistic approach ensures that physicians can provide quality patient care while maintaining their well-being.

TO manage multiple physician's one needs to listen to the perspectives band expectations of each one of them and one needs to understand their specialized areas of work

Physicians are such a diverse group of individuals with very different desires, willingness levels, comfort levels and capacities to take on certain workloads. Placing a physician in a position where the workload is a mismatch and non optimal can lead to discontent in both directions. (1) Too little workload can lead to feelings of boredom as well as resentment for not getting enough work. (2) Too much workload or the wrong type of workload can lead to burnout. It is imperative to understand their roles within the organization, their current workload, there desired workload, and the type of workload they are comfortable with and have open and honest conversations about where they feel they are currently and where they would like to be.

Remember that in addition to differing responsibilities, you are also trying to understand different personalities, workflow preferences, and responses to pressure.

Quais s?o os objetivos estabelecidos pelo gestor e pela institui??o? A meu ver há necessidade de que os processos sejam dinamicos mas flexíveis a ponto de compreenderem quais os detalhes far?o a diferen?a para os pacientes e demais stakeholders. Sem as diretrizes determinadas pela alta gest?o n?o há meios eficazes de demonstrar o que dr fato é relevante para as companhias. Mas além disso o que faz com que as pessoas estejam motivadas vai além da obriga??o. E paix?o, dedica??o, miss?o. Atribuir papéis e responsabilidades com confian?a e competência s?o fatores essenciais na constru??o das rela??es cada vez mais humanas e voltadas para resultados frutos do coletivo, da intera??o e da integra??o. A essência n?o está no ser, mas em saber fazer.

Effectively managing multiple physician workloads requires clear and respectful communication. Building trust and collaboration hinges on conveying patient information, updating schedules, requesting orders, and addressing conflicts with precision. Use appropriate language, tone, and body language, recognizing their expertise while avoiding assumptions or criticisms. This fosters a positive environment, ensuring effective teamwork and improved overall patient care.

To manage multiple physician workloads one needs to manage the amount of patients they are consulting, their forte is in which speciality, the revenues they are generating and also their commitments with other organisations too. To effectively manage their workloads we have to utilise their time effectively so that efficiency can increase and the workload too is distributed equally preventing burnouts and dissatisfied physicians

Uma comunica??o efetiva profissional parte do princípio de agrega??o de valor para os interlocutores, ou seja, um ganha-ganha. Para tanto, devemos levar ao médico propostas de conteúdo e intera??es que conversem com sua realidade, perfil pessoal e de trabalho. A mesma mensagem para todos n?o funciona mais. Cada médico encontra-se em um ponto da jornada de conhecimento da sua empresa, produto ou servi?o. Portanto, entender sua jornada é essencial para prepara??o da intera??o com comunica??o que traz resultados para ambos.

Ensure that the communication loop is closed by establishing guidelines around urgent and routine messages. You may consider which messages could be managed by a non-physician and which need to go to the physician directly. If you find that you receive messages from physicians in multiple ways, consider discussing how you might standardize messages within the practice so that items can be managed more efficiently and with greater accuracy. The goal of everyone in the practice is to address patient needs in a safe and timely manner. If you identify practices that may work better, schedule time to discuss your improvement ideas. Even if practices are not changed, you will gather insight that will help with future suggestions.

Also consider differing backgrounds, communication styles, and cultural interpretations in your own communication. Do you have one physician who reads and responds to email fervently, and another who responds well to oral direction? While standardizing communication is ideal, it may not be the most effective way to have your message both heard, understood, and acknowledged by all physicians.

In a practice where there is significant variability, identify which tasks are critical to the success of the role and which are preference. This will allow you to discuss resources effectively. To suggest change, prepare to discuss the current state and what would improve with change. For example, if you want to change the scheduling process, identify challenges with the current process and how you identified that things could be better. Where you can use data, include it. Review the data and follow with your ideas. If the proposed change is adopted, will there be a time saving where patients wait longer to schedule or will the physician experience less reschedules because the patient arrives for the right care on the first attempt?

Shared goals build strong teams! Identify the top priorities for the group and, as a team, develop action plans to achieve success with these goals. Track progress toward the goal, post it visually at a place where people can gather to discuss the work, and keep that conversation alive.

Identify your relevant internal and external stakeholders, and highlight their roles to physicians in a meaningful way. This includes patients and families under the care of your organization. The experiences of individual patients are impactful for clinicians. Helping patients is at the heart of each physician’s decision to practice, whether that be through direct patient care, research, advocacy, education, or leadership.

List those things that you are required to do daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. If those items add up to 10 hours per week, you know that you have 30 hours left for all of the other parts of your work. Next, add the time it takes to prepare for those required to-do items. If you omit planning time from your calendar, you are more likely to give that time away, resulting in a perception that your are always rushed or that your work is incomplete. Finally, calendar time for leader activities such as rounding with your team to validate their work, checking on process improvements, or gathering insight from others who do your role.

Ask your physician leaders to clearly outline their expectations around their communications with you, and ensure you set realistic plans in place to achieve these goals together. Identify your own areas for improvement, and share them, so that your physician leadership is armed with the information needed to support you and guide you in your own leadership role.

Trust is essential between physician leaders and facility or group administrators. Remember that the patient experience and quality care rely upon your mutual partnership to serve patients and improve health outcomes.
