Round and go, how do you do it?
I am a hospitalist with a generally favorable work environment. Typically see 12-14 (depending on the day) with 1-2 admits (also depending on the day). I consider the work load to be fair and manageable. I tend to be thorough to the degree of neuroticism, but I take ownership of that. Anyway, I see posts here of a mythical thing called “round and go”, and I am just curious: how much of your work do you take home (ie do you do your notes at home?) and how about all the follow up? Over the course of the day, I am getting follow up labs, imaging, consultant recs (including for late discharges), and unstable patients (there’s always one!) and I was just curious how the “round and go” crowd manages this? Do you do it from home?
Personally, I don’t think I would want manage all the follow up, potential consults, potential discharges from afar, but that’s just my personal preference. I also just don’t mind being at the hospital in general.
