The EHR inbox is the default destination for most forms of communication in outpatient clinic settings. As the physician’s workload grows, so does the volume of the inbox, creating a burden that is impossible to manage alone. Often, physicians face spending long hours before and after clinic to complete “between visit” clerical work. For some, this can add up to an extra 1 to 2 hours of work every day and is a major contributor to physician burnout. The reality is that (1) many inbox messages do not need to enter the inbox in the first place, and (2) of those messages that should enter the inbox, the majority do not need to be routed to the physician.
This toolkit will help you keep unnecessary messages from being routed to your inbox in the first place, guide you through establishing a centralized team inbox, and provide workflows to empower team members to contribute in a meaningful way to inbox management.
