GEN: Office system for medical assistant notificationFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Thu Aug 28 21:22:12 2003
My practice (3 docs, 2.5 CNMs) is moving into new space next week, and now the patient charts that are ready to be picked up by the medical assistant and brought back to be seen are not easily visible to the staff. This means that the medical assistant who might be at her desk on the phone has to get up a lot to check, or get called on the intercom (doesn't work if she's on the phone, I don't think). Our staff wants us to install a system with small panels of different colored lights, that are in the halls, exam rooms, etc., so the front desk turns on a light, and it blinks everywhere. These are costly, but look slick. I'm thinking about using a restaurant pager system, where each medical assistant has a beeper, and the front keys up their beeper from a small control box. I have no idea how much it would cost, but I bet a lot less than the cool lights. Does anyone have any experience/thoughts? Please post and/or email privately. Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
