PALO ALTO, Calif. - Californer -- In order to enhance a medical facility's productivity and reliability, good management and administration is required. But, how do we ensure we can mitigate legal and financial risks, maximize patient satisfaction, and ensure quality service provision? In order to achieve these outcomes, you need to manage your staff efficiently.

Dr. William Matzner has published an article about it. The complete article will be published on the Blog of Dr. Matzner at https://drwilliammatzner.blogspot.com

Here are some of the most effective steps and measures can help with staff management to achieve better results:

Training the staff and briefing them on what is expected of them in terms of both professional performance as well as patient care are both key factors that play a vital role in the smooth running of a medical practice. The staff should be well aware of how they are expected to perform and the standards that they must meet. They must also be well equipped and regularly updated in terms of changes, policy alterations, and training sessions.

To ensure that the staff is on track and following policies, standards, and requirements, it is very important to not just closely supervise them, but also offer them support. This support could be in many forms, for instance, they may require help with equipment and instrument handling and operating, or they might require assistance with time managements etc. It is of paramount importance to be directly involved with the staff at some point, in order to ensure that they have all the support they may need, while also ensuring that they are aware that they are being supervised so that they do not compromise on quality.

Supervision and support may also be offered in the form of staff guides, operation manuals, checklists, and roster of routine activities. Appreciation is also very important. Appreciate the staff and their efforts when they perform well and similarly, encourage them to improve if they are not at par with the standards.

Lastly, in this age of advanced technology, technological systems can help with a lot of management and organization. There are now certain management apps meant specifically for medical practices that help with normal routine activities—and do so quicker than humans. For instance, the Medical Practice Management Software or MPMS helps with the daily tasks of appointment scheduling, report generation, claims and statements for insurance coverage etc. thus making the work of the staff much easier. Such computerized programs save time, ensure quality service, and also reduce the workload of the staff. These systems now can also be connected to the internet, which makes them even more efficient.
