Half step forward, one step backward...ta tata ta....Correction moves started to take place at our clinic but like my earlier update, our main MA departing next week, 2 week notice , she is going back to school for 'real' nurse degree, higher salary prospective. We have one full and one part time.
With internet, employees are highly 'educated' and 'motivated' . We put out local ads, many interviews but not yet suitable candidates. EMR needs time to learn, some just out of school, some matured thinking of leaving their current and been on paper charts... so if we get a newbie (easier to 'mold') then our doc has to take over the role of a trainer (our part time MA is just that), doc is busy more than enough. Best is to have a MA with AC knowledge....
For those lucky to have loyal and more than one MAs, this might become a none issue, is any doc out there in same situation. Not too long ago, many docs could do everything himself if needs be... opt out of insurance/medicare is suicidal, some can do that but not us, referrals become very time consuming , too many carriers, many selective specialists, for those older and by themselves patients need us to look for their specialists,
