Hi Don here, welcome to the 
Podiatry management minute. 

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,100
We're going to talk about chart,
documentation tips. 

3
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:13,200
I learned this. 
This idea from Airy myzel and he

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,400
has a website called less doing 
and his, his, his like, the 

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,300
three tenants that he talks 
about, are like, optimizing 

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,700
automating, and then 
Outsourcing. 

7
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:26,900
And so with, with chart 
documentation, we're talking 

8
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:30,400
like, for our medical record, we
have to first optimize it and 

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,200
then as much as we can, we can 
automate it. 

10
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:34,000
It. 
So let's talk about those first 

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,300
two. 
So to optimize I'm a big 

12
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,500
believer in templates. 
So when we started our EMR and 

13
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,900
we and we used Athena, you might
use a different one, doesn't 

14
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,300
matter, its template driven. 
So you have these templates took

15
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,000
a lot of time made. 
Those really, really work. 

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,100
Well, they were slick, they were
easy. 

17
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:52,400
And then when I see patients, it
has it pulls an automatic normal

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,600
value. 
So that's the first thing. 

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,000
So my templates have templates 
for MRI. 

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,900
I'm sorry. 
X-ray reads, when I read an 

21
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:01,100
x-ray, it has a little templates
that are in there as well 

22
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:04,900
templates for For sounds. 
And so that's the first thing 

23
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:06,600
templates. 
The second thing would be what 

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,100
we call macros, which are canned
things that we say over and 

25
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,100
over. 
So, for example, how we explain 

26
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:15,000
plantar fasciitis or achilles 
tendonitis, those are all 

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,800
written. 
And then when in our in our EMR 

28
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,500
and UK, If you hit Dot and then 
start writing that name, like 

29
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:23,600
plantar fasciitis for plantar, 
it'll pull up different 

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200
discussion, notes, for plantar, 
fasciitis, or for anything else.

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,900
So that really saves a lot of 
time when you're seeing patients

32
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:32,100
for the same thing over and 
over. 

33
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,600
And there's a real easy way. 
Than if I'm writing something 

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,000
out, I can easily save it into a
new, what we call macro, that's 

35
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,200
what it's called. 
So having the templates and then

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,100
the macro setup that that kind 
of automate that optimizes it 

37
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:48,600
and now then automate sit to 
make it a lot easier. 

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,200
The last portion of that is 
outsourcing and that's where I'm

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,000
at right now, using a scribe. 
But if I didn't have all the 

40
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:00,300
Automation and optimization, 
it'd be a lot harder to use a 

41
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:02,200
scribe because it would take 
them a lot. 

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,500
Congress have to kind of learn 
how to do it yourself before you

43
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,000
give it to someone else. 
It's not going to make you a lot

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,500
easier. 
So, those are some of my chart, 

45
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:12,700
documentation tips using kind of
using a scribe using that 

46
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,400
automated system. 
In terms of making your notes. 

47
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:17,900
I'm going to include a little 
link underneath here. 

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,300
It's a but actual practice 
Master e.com EMR. 

49
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,900
If you want to kind of look at 
some of my templates, these are 

50
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:27,400
for people that are kind of 
wanting to know how to do 

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,700
templates. 
You want to see, I have a copy 

52
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:30,500
of my templates. 
I pretty much put them in there.

53
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,500
The reason I did that is because
when I was training, Earning my 

54
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,000
scribe, they ask for all this 
information. 

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,700
So I just put it into a Google 
Google drive folder that might 

56
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:38,700
help you guys. 
Okay. 

57
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Until next time, let me know 
your thoughts.
