I'm trying to convince our hospital to provide more MA/LPN help.. Curious what type of set ups others have.
I'm currently seek g 25-28 pts a day in about 7 hours. I typically don't start clinic until 9 due to procedures or inpt rounding.
I "get" one assistant to room the pt, get vitals and help with orders (I do about half the order entry but don't do the Med orders or list). however my efficiency is hampered by waiting on LPN to get the next pt ready.
Admins answer was I needed to do all order entry, Med changes to "ease the workload" for her.
Most use just one assistant?
