Please please stop wasting my time and let me spend a few extra minutes with my patients.
One of the many irritating things I face day to day ( in addition having to see the stupid face Trump on the TV) is these "Friendly" advisories and reminders I keep getting from theses insurance companies and chronic care companies.your patient has not filled XYZ medication
Your patient is getting xyz medication and it is recommended not to be used according to Beer's criteria.
your patient did not go and see the eye doctor / colon doctor/heart doctor /kidney doctor ETC.
Majority of the times I spend the extra time going back to check the patient's record in EHR ( I will write many blogs in future about the idiocy of the designers of EHR software, and the imbeciles who are put in charge to customize them in various institutions)
More than 90 % of the time i find there was no alternative other than continue the medication ( I do not have access to multidisciplinary pain management ,behavior managment , lifestyle management teams . I have no access to acupuncture , music therapy , massage , Tai Chi, or whatever is most fashionable today.
If you really want to remind me about a test or medicine give me a 15 second tool tip advise. Ifit is found useful i will implement it or I will ignore it based on my experience.
So please please stop wasting my time and let me spend a few extra minutes with my patients.
