Interested in hearing from some of you out there who may have personally worked, or know a group who has, in a traditional outpt/inpt setting.
Current situation with our practice (2 physicians and one APC), we (2 physicians) round on our inpts, do clinic (physicians and APC) and then do any admissions throughout the day at the end of clinic to 9pm (APC).
The issue that’s arising is the inpt service is growing (growing outpt d/t a provider retiring) and the APC is getting worked/frustrated on the admissions side and can see them getting burned out w/increased volume.
I love inpt, and outpt gives great continuity, but the 4p-9p isn’t friendly for family life. Any suggestions/strategies you’ve seen?
