This is a very interesting topic this week because I was able to reflect on the struggles we have had in our department these past few weeks. As we all may know, we have had a huge increase in COVID testing here in Florida. This has caused a lot of stress for our staff as our volume has significantly increased (double in numbers). We work with a skeleton crew, 1 nurse, 1 doctor, 1 medical assistant, 1 x-ray technician and 1 registration person. Seeing 60 plus patients a day is exhausting for such minimal man power. This has caused many of the staff members to call out and become burnt out. I was speaking to our manager today to see what they have implemented to try and improve our work flow. She expressed that they are working on having automated notes and orders for those who are only coming into our facility for COVID testing. This alone can help us reduce the amount of time we spend documenting. We will be able to have notes generated and automatically populated for these specific patients, which allows us to have the discharged in a timely manner as well. They have also been able to approve extra employees to come in and give us a helping hand swabbing, without giving too much over time. Our director needed to present graphs and numbers showing the increase in volume and organized a sit down where upper management actually comes into one of our facilities to see how busy we are for themselves. This was the perfect example to share this week as my manager showed what it means for APNs and application of project management.”
