What’s bugging you now?


The holidays are over, your waiting room is full, your staff is ever busy, and you’re still irritated because ____________________  (fill in the blank).

Maybe  you can’t get lab results into your EMR like your salesperson promised.  Or maybe that one employee is constantly texting which drives you crazy.  Maybe you meant to start looking at a new practice management system or EMR in January, but patients keep taking up your time. 

Stop.  Write down the first (or next) action you need to take in order to get that thing moving.  Is it contacting someone?  Call them now.  Email them if they don’t answer their phone.  Do you need to read something first?  Do it now.  Hey, you’re spending time reading this, why aren’t you working to solve your problems? Maybe you are trying to solve your problem by reading this, in that case, thanks and call or email me now.

As Nike used to say, Just Do It.
