I’m an intern (rising second year) at an residency-run FQHC clinic. We start with 4 patients and go up each patient every 6 months. I try to finish the note via dictation, put in orders, and etc before going into the next patients room. Our EHR is NOT epic so that makes things difficult. I’m kinda nervous and worried about the increase in patients, clinic days, and more inbox responsibilities. Any tips on how to efficiently finish notes once the load increases? What has worked for you?

Edit: I type the HPI in the room in front of the patient while maintaining eye contact. We also see other patients so our panel includes every providers’ patients across the FQHC branches
