Work with other team members for smoother “hand-offs.” Usually, where your work ends, someone else’s begins. These “hand-offs”—when patients, tasks or procedures are transferred to other staff members—can be major sources of inefficiency and stress in a practice. To improve them, talk with the other staff members involved. Ask what you can do to make these transitions easier for them, and explain how those team members can make them easier for you.
