Reduce the Work That Follows You Home With a 2–3 Minute Pre-Charting Process
Use a decision-driven pre-charting system to find what each visit will hinge on, start prepared, and stay on schedule.

- Colonoscopy overdue. Order today?

- BP above goal twice. Adjust meds?
- Start ready. Walk into each visit knowing which decisions are coming.
- Stay focused. Capture what matters in the room instead of chasing details you'll never use.
- Finish faster. Wrap up each note before the next patient, because the decisions were framed before you knocked.
- Leave done. Build the momentum to finish your charts at work, not on the couch at 9 p.m.
- Make it stick. Avoid the mistakes that turn pre-charting into a rabbit hole, or a habit you've dropped by Wednesday.
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.
That's data-driven prep: open the chart and read until something feels like enough.
It feels like diligence. It just has no finish line.
Data-driven vs. decision-driven
Same Chart. Different Question.
Data-Driven Prep
“What’s in this chart?”
- Reviews
- As much as possible
- Focus
- Gathering data
- Preps for
- A comprehensive note
- Stops when
- You run out of time
- Rule of thumb
- More prep feels better
Decision-Driven Prep
“What am I likely to decide today?”
- Reviews
- What informs those decisions
- Focus
- Preparing for action
- Preps for
- Documenting efficiently
- Stops when
- Each decision is prepped
- Rule of thumb
- Just enough prep is better
The goal isn’t to know everything about the patient before you walk in. It’s to know enough to make the next clinical decision efficiently.
That shift is what the Pre-Charting Sprint teaches, through the Ready-Set-Chart method:
- READYPrepare with purpose.
Identify why they’re coming in and the decisions you’re likely to face. Review only what informs those decisions.
- SETPrime your workflow.
Preload the template, flag the relevant results, and line up your follow-up questions and SmartPhrases.
- CHARTDocument as you go.
Let the prep guide the visit, document decisions in real time, and close the encounter before you move on.
Too little prep and you’re improvising in the room. Too much and you’ve spent your evening in a 2019 cardiology consult. Ready-Set-Chart keeps you in the therapeutic window: enough to know where the visit is headed, and not a minute more.
How the Decision-Driven Pre-Charting Sprint 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.

The Ready-Set-Chart method is designed to help you pre-chart in about 2–3 minutes per patient by focusing on the decisions most likely to matter.

Instead of reviewing everything in the chart, you focus on the clinical decisions you’re most likely to make during the visit.
What do I get?
