9 Time Management Tips for Your Medical Practice

By its very nature, medical practice work can be frenzied, stressful, and
overwhelming. You and your staff are likely under constant interruption, making
it impossible to give each task the attention it deserves, and simply completing
the huge number of necessary tasks each day can be a struggle. Effective time
management is essential to the smooth operation of a medical practice. These
practices can help you reduce your stress, improve your productivity, and
reclaim your personal life.

Accept that “time management” is a myth. There are only 24 hours in a day. No matter how much you organize, there is a limit to how much you and your staff can accomplish. Once you accept that, you can concentrate on coming up with ways to more efficiently complete the tasks that are possible on any given day.

Keep a diary. To you and your staff, it may seem like you’re always swamped by work, running from one thing to the next, but most people couldn’t tell you, minute-to-minute, how they spend a given day. The best way to
find out is to keep a daily log. You might be surprised to find that there is time that can be used more wisely – such as de-stressing by catching up on reading on your daily public transportation commute.

Prioritize each day. Now that you know how you actually spend each day, it’s time to prioritize. Block out the time you need for important assignments, and don’t allow your day to be consumed by minor tasks and distractions. Before agreeing to do any extra work, take a look at your goals and schedule.

Take the time to do work right the first time. Rushing through a job may make it seem like you’re able to get more done, but if you make a mistake, you’ll probably spend twice the time trying to correct it. Save yourself the stress and don’t rush!

Don’t force yourself to finish big jobs all at once. If you’ve got a big, long-term project and you know you’ll never be able to set aside the entire week you need to complete it, try breaking it into smaller tasks. Not only will this allow you to start chipping away at the job, it will make the whole task seem less daunting and reduce your stress over it.

Remove distractions. Yes, they are a way of life for medical practices, but when it comes time to work on a big project, don’t feel bad about closing your door, and shutting off your phone, pager, and e-mail.

Learn to delegate – and teach others to do it too. On days where it seems like there’s just too much for you to do, don’t stress – accept that you probably can’t do it all and figure out what you can pass on to someone else. Just make sure that you’re willing to take on extra work from others on days where your work is lighter, and you’ll foster an environment that’s
team-oriented, helpful, and cooperative.

Take care of yourself and your staff. A healthy lifestyle will improve your focus and concentration, which will help with efficiency. So get plenty of sleep, eat healthy, exercise regularly, and encourage your staff to do the same.

Don’t be afraid to take a break. An excess of stress will hurt your job performance and make you slower and less efficient at everything you do. Need a break? Go for a walk. Do stretches or some quick exercises at your workstation. Still too stressed? Rest and re-energize with a day off. You’ll return to work in much better condition.

How Medical Negligence Attorney Helps Victim against Healthcare Provider

It is the responsibility of a health care provider to increase the quality of life of the patients coming to him or her. If the medical practitioner or the health care provider contributes to the suffering of the patient owing to negligence or providing substandard care, he or she is responsible to compensate the patient for the loss owing to such negligence. A patient who is a victim of such negligence can file a claim against the health care provider with the help of a good medical negligence attorney.

Anybody who has been on the receiving end of negligent care can file for compensation. The kinds of claims which can be made in such a situation include:

  •  Negligence during providing care to the patient
  •  Negligence in providing prenatal care during pregnancy
  •  Negligence during the birthing process resulting in birth injury
  •  Negligence during performing a medical implant
  •  Prescribing wrong drugs or care

Or any other such instance resulting in worsening of a patient’s condition because of lack of care provided by the health care provider.

In a lot of cases the negligence of the medical practitioner can have long term effects. These effects include life threatening situations like paralysis, brain damage, nerve damage etc.

While nothing can bring back the quality of life, a medical negligence attorney can ensure that you get compensated for:

  •  The pain and suffering you face because of the negligence of the medical practitioner
  •  The past medical expenses you have incurred because of the negligence
  •  Future medical expenses and long term care arising because of this act
  •  The wages you have lost because of your medical condition
  •  Any setbacks in wages you will receive because of an incapacity to work
  •  Compromise of the quality of social life

You can file a claim for compensation as an individual. However as an individual you are unaware of the complex workings of the medical industry and the multiple laws governing this industry. The legal department representing the health care provider can confuse with a lot of legal jargon and convince you that you do not have a case against the health care provider

A medical negligence attorney will review your case and help you collect sufficient evidence to build a strong case. He is well acquainted with the intricate workings of the medical industry and is well experienced in handling cases of medical negligence. He will gather witnesses and evidences to ensure that you deserve compensation for the medical negligence you have suffered.

If you are a victim of medical negligence consult a medical negligence attorney immediately. They will guide you with the right instructions on how to preserve your medical records, keep copies of your medical bills and gather evidence to substantiate your claim in the court of law. Reporting a negligent health care provider will also ensure that other people does not suffer the same fate as yours.

Learn to control your stress and improve your health naturally


 Health Perth, WA, Australia – Stress is endemic in our society. Research shows that 70% of Australians feel that stress is having a negative impact on their physical and mental health, a figure confirmed by the experience of team members at Perth Brain Centre who see many patients suffering from the effects of stress. Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback, used at Perth Brain Centre , was one of the methods highlighted in a recent, randomized, controlled trial conducted in the Netherlands in 2015 . The trial compared three randomly assigned interventions that people could use to help themselves with stress reduction. These were Physical Activity, Mindfulness Meditation and Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback. Results showed clearly that all three methods can play a positive role in the reduction of stress and its associated symptoms.

All interventions resulted in a substantial and statistically significant effect on levels of anxiety, depression, perceived stress and overall psychological well-being as well as improving quality of sleep. For those suffering from the effects of stress, any of these three safe, drug free interventions are beneficial. However, mindfulness meditation may be a technique that proves harder for some to learn and committing to physical activity may not be possible because of other health constraints.

By contrast, Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback is easy to learn by everyone, whether young or old. In just a few short sessions using a small heart rate sensor attached to an earlobe or fingertip, anyone can learn to control his or her stress responses. Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback is available at The Perth Brain Centre.
