Steven,
I am office-based entirely (gave up hospital 5 years ago). My hours are M-W 8-1 and 2-4, Thurs 7-1 and 2-7, Fridays 8-noon. My best advice to you to getting your work done, is do it in the rooms. Set up either PCs or laptops or carry around a tablet but, do not leave the room until your note is completed. No after hour dictations, no sticky notes. And your patients actually deserve to suffer along with you while you compete their note. They need to be aware of just what it takes to complete an encounter. Plus, it gives them a sense that your face-to-face time was less hurried. I cannot remember the last time I took work home. Life is too short.
Leslie
