Staff is key in making it working. My front desk/ office manager is experienced and knows how to make it work . On the other hand, I try not to overstretch myself either with administrative duties. Team makes it work !

Some ways to get started- I will take my administrative roles seriously with greater communication skills to my junior colleagues to strike the right balance.

Some administrative tasks can be delegated. Hire staff who want to grow and trust them to do the delegated tasks without micromanaging.

Delegate, delegate, delegate. Train a subordinate in a way that will decrease time consuming things to increase your efficiency.

Balancing administrative tasks with physician initiatives requires effective time management and collaboration. Prioritize tasks based on their impact on patient care, and schedule uninterrupted blocks for administrative work. Delegate where possible to ensure focus remains on key initiatives. Use project management tools to track both clinical and administrative tasks, ensuring nothing is overlooked. Regular communication between the administrative team and physicians helps align priorities and share the workload. By staying organized and open to collaboration, you can better balance these important responsibilities.

Balancing admin work and physician initiatives is about aligning goals, not dividing time. Here’s my approach: - Prioritize impact: Focus on initiatives that enhance both operational efficiency and patient care. - Streamline with tech: Use digital tools to automate routine admin tasks, freeing time for strategic projects. - Collaborate openly: Maintain clear communication with physicians, align on shared goals to avoid friction. It’s not admin vs. care, it’s integrating both to drive better outcomes.

Be realistic with what you can accomplish alone. Don’t be afraid to empower your staff to take on challenging tasks that you feel only you can do, but be sure to create an environment in which they feel supported.

Implementing priority based time management strategies can help physicians enhance their efficiency, improve patient care, and achieve a better work-life balance. Remember, time management is not just about doing more in less time; it’s about making thoughtful decisions to use your time effectively. By prioritizing tasks, leveraging technology, delegating, optimizing workflows, setting boundaries, taking care of yourself, and continuously improving, you can create a more manageable and fulfilling professional life. Also take help of technology EHR, managers and set your boundaries.
