Save 1 Million Clicks a Day With One Simple Change

Stop Physician Burnout: Save a Million Clicks a Day With This One Simple Change

Every day, all over the world, physicians waste time and energy on EMR and other documentation tasks that completely obstruct our ability to provide a quality patient encounter.

I am talking about things we are forced to do on the computer that are a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME

These are computer tasks everyone knows add no value whatsoever to patient care. Their only consequence is increased stress and wasted time and energy for everyone involved.

Here is a simple - one step - inexpensive solution that will save well over a million clicks a day across the USA and instantly and permanently give every single provider back time and energy as soon as you plug the darn thing in. It really is that simple. Ready?

INSTALL RFID - TAP AND GO - LOGIN TECHNOLOGY ON EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER USED BY EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE IN YOUR COMPANY

EVERY SINGLE ONE !!!

If there was ever a completely useless click ... it is the series of key strokes you must hammer into your computer - sometimes hundreds of times a day - just to Log In to your rassin' frassin' work station.

RFID Tap-and-go login technology has been around for years. This inexpensive tool and a name badge on a retractable lanyard and anyone can literally tap and type - no keystrokes required to Log In ... ever again.

I was at the AAFP Physician Wellbeing conference this weekend and watched as my friend Dr. Paul DeChant asked the 400 attendees, "How many of you still manually Log In to your computer?" --and a full 75% of the attendees at the event raised their hands.

That is crazy here in 2018

It is diagnostic of a disconnect between senior leaders in the majority of US Healthcare Organizations and the reality of the stressors on front-line providers.

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR ... SENIOR LEADERS PLEASE LISTEN

If you have a computer where any member of your organization is documenting anything related to patient care IT IS AN ABUSIVE MANAGEMENT PRACTICE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TAP AND GO LOGIN.

At the same time it is the single lowest hanging piece of fruit for stress reduction in healthcare.

**Tap and Go Log In is the standard of care when it comes to caring about your people and the first act of a true Quadruple Aim Organization**

If you are a senior leader in an organization that does not have Tap-and-Go Log In on all your computers at this time - inpatient and outpatient - then get out your checkbook and make it right. Instant return on investment for you and your people will LOVE IT. It is the first project I recommend for any Burnout Prevention Working Group and an example of an authentic solution to a real problem for once.

If you have Tap and Go ... good for you and congratulations. Step two to eliminate another complete time waster - is to put printers in all of your outpatient exam rooms. Write the check and make it so.
