It&#8217;s the point of maximum to-do\u2019s and the highest likelihood of task saturation. This is also where keeping up with documentation starts to slip. Falling behind isn\u2019t a character flaw, it\u2019s the perfect combination of too much on the plate meeting depletion of energy, willpower, and intention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the usual answer to this? Heads down and muscle through! But forward momentum by brute force of will is not a long-term strategy for thriving in a career. Eventually, that brute force tank will be empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not like you don\u2019t know it\u2019s coming. More often than not, you will have a lot on your plate in the middle innings of a workday. Here\u2019s the 35,000-foot view of what an average day in the ED looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Beginning of the shift: You\u2019re fresh as a daisy and your only job is patient intake<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Middle of the shift: Energy is starting to wane and you have a combination of patient intake, results interpretation, consultant calls, procedures, disposition, interruptions, and a fleeting dream that it would be so nice to complete a few charts.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End of the shift: You\u2019re tired, but your only job is clean up and dispo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons mid-shift is so fraught is that there\u2019s too much to do and it\u2019s easy to expend a lot of energy yet feel like you\u2019re not making progress. Having a consistent workable strategy for mid-shift will pay dividends for your entire career. The keys to thriving during this period of a shift are twofold: identifying when it happens and then breaking it down into small, actionable steps. What often happens is a checklist of all the to-do\u2019s. This is great! Even better is having a consistent hierarchy to triage what\u2019s on your plate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Notice the change<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like you\u2019ve got to enter the right patient into a decision rule, you\u2019ve got to identify when you\u2019ve reached the point of mid-shift overwhelm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t tell you what it feels like, only you know it. But you know it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Exercise to get familiar with the feeling:&nbsp;<\/strong>Recall a shift where you experienced overwhelm. <br><br>What were your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations? It usually begins with a subtle deviation from your usual state and by the time you notice it, you\u2019re overloaded and spinning your wheels. Can you pick out the first moments when it happens?&nbsp;<br><br>Give this moment or feeling a name. Brit Long, calls it \u201cThe Kraken\u201d and what comes next is Releasing the Kraken!<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Begin your mid-shift action plan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The time to get organized isn\u2019t when the Kraken is a raging beast. It\u2019s when you sense it first start to stir. When this happens, it\u2019s time to organize and prioritize. The details of what this looks like will be different for everyone, but there are common elements regardless of who you are or where you work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need to put the following tasks in a rank order list: new patient evaluations, dispositions, managing critical or potentially critical patients, results review, team huddle, running the board, calling consults, doing procedures, and documentation. Oh yes, documentation. Did you think that would get swept under the rug when the Kraken is released? No way! It\u2019s easy to keep up on charts during the beginning of your shift, but hard when you\u2019re busy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Key point: <strong>Timely documentation is a procedure you do for YOU.<\/strong> Keeping up on your charts will help you get out on time and also avoid the pit of despair of looking at a virtual stack of 20 charts at the end of your shift.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here is an example of an order of operations for mid-shift overwhelm..&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Priority 1: <\/strong>Stabilize and manage critical (or potentially critical) patients. This must always be the first priority. The sequence of the rest is where you experiment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Priority 2: <\/strong>&nbsp;Assess new patients (and get their workup going, put in the orders. If no new patients, move to the next priority. The number of new patients you assess here is going to be impacted by their complexity and how much time it takes. You can set a limit on how many patients or how much time you allot to this before moving on to priority 3.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Critical action:<\/strong> Complete an H and P on each patient after the initial encounter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Priority 3: <\/strong>Batch results review to see what\u2019s back and identify actionable items and who can be dispositioned. Place consultant calls but not so many that you\u2019ll be overwhelmed\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Critical action:<\/strong> Run the board and huddle with the team (or charge nurse) to delegate tasks.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Priority 4: <\/strong>&nbsp;Disposition of patients (admit, discharge, start transfer). They say that dispo is king and you may want to put this elsewhere in your order of operations. Our clients generally focus on 2 to 3 patients during this step.\n<ul>\n<li>Critical action: Finish your chart upon dispositioning a patient. It will free up mental space, allow you to double-check that you haven\u2019t forgotten something (did you really do a complete neuro exam?), and close the loop on that encounter.&nbsp; Beware, you\u2019re going to feel pressure to do other things besides complete a chart.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Priority 5:<\/strong>&nbsp; Rate-limiting steps (ie. complete procedures).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeatedly re-triage tasks until the Kraken has quieted. That might not happen til the end of the shift and there might be several Krakens in one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Variations and caveats:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Disposition of patients before seeing new patients. The adage of \u2018dispo is king\u2019 may hold sway on your list! Brit\u2019s protocol prioritizes patient intake before disposition, but many docs do just the opposite \u2013 after managing critical patients, they review results, run the board, and identify dispos.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where you put procedures. Brit has his rate-limiting steps as the last priority but, if dispo is truly king, then procedures might go somewhere near dispositions because when you finish sewing that lac, alas, the patient is now a discharge candidate.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thin-slicing on newly roomed patients. A quick hello or even ordering from the computer to get things rolling while you attend to other tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of consultant calls put out at once<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How often you reset the list and start back at the beginning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What to do when a critical patient arrives by EMS. You might be in the room for half an hour or more, now you\u2019ve got even more tasks than you had before going in there. How do you re-enter your sequence? Some will restart at the top, others where they left off, maybe it\u2019s going to the intake step, the dispo step,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What to do when you are not in \u2018patient intake mode\u2019 and EMS arrives with a new non-critical patient. We know that getting an EMS report in real time is important but it may take you out of your flow. Do you prioritize this or let it slide mid-shift? Do you listen in on the report to get the snapshot and then come back for a full eval later? Maybe this is a top priority for you and you complete the new patient eval on every EMS arrival. It\u2019s up to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Break through the pain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Documenting in real-time when the ED is busy is hard to do. For many, the comfort zone is to defer charting til you&#8217;re not busy. There\u2019s always later, right? For one chart, that\u2019s OK, but they add up quickly. Something to pay attention to is your inner dialogue when it\u2019s time to close the loom of each patient\u2019s EMR in your workflow. What are you doing instead of charting? What are you telling yourself is more important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may very well be a critical task that needs your attention, but many things we think of as critical can wait a moment or two while you complete your note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Proviso: <\/strong>Documenting an H&amp;P, and especially an MDM, in real time requires you to have a robust template library.
