Most Pre-Charting Is Reading Without a Question
It's 8:40 p.m. You open tomorrow's schedule to take a quick look at the first few patients. Forty minutes later you've read a cardiology consult from 2019, scrolled three years of normal CBCs, and reconciled a med list for someone coming in about a rash.
And you still couldn't say what you'll actually decide in the room.
Open-ended chart review feels like diligence. It just has no finish line.
The Pre-Charting Sprint gives it one: find the decisions the visit will hinge on, prep those, and close the chart.
How Decision-Driven Pre-Charting Helped Physicians Spend Less Time Preparing
“I’m starting to think I may be able to keep working and still have a life.”
A 70-year-old family physician reported completing her first five charts “in record time” after applying the approach.
“It’s been a game changer.”
One physician said the biggest change was limiting the amount of time spent on each chart and shifting pre-charting from the night before to the day of the visit.
“A common-sense approach to clinical practice.”
Another physician praised the program’s coaching style and said they were able to listen to the program on the way to work.
