How to Write Progress Notes EFFICIENTLY

How I was able to finish progress notes on 10 patients before 9am!

Granted, the above day was a lucky day in which I had all relatively stable patients but I do think there are some key concepts that can help you finish your notes earlier. Please let me know about ideas you've been using in order to write your notes more quickly and efficiently! I feel like we should all work together in order to help build more effective workflows in the hospital. These are just some of the few concepts I have been utilizing over my past 8 months of being an intern and that I hope might be helpful to you as well!

Note - I ended up switching from printing out the notes to just presenting off of my phone, which was a nice change and also environmentally friendly! Less paper waste is always good in the hospital :)
