DOCTORIOUS

So many stories begin this way:  A lone M.D., fighting to keep his patients healthy and himself sane, starts losing weight. 

A pound here, a couple more there.  At first, it wasn’t noticeable.  But after he began slipping through closed doors sideways, the whispers began.

Yet it’s not exercise.  It’s not diet.  It’s not the long hours and extra brainwork he’s putting in that makes the staff call him “Doctor Toothpick” behind his back.

The problem?  He’s simply stretched too thin.

So much paper.  So much footwork.  So much inefficiency.  If he hadn’t already given his life to medicine, he’d devote it to figuring out how to solve this mess. 

Fortunately, someone else did.  The people at HMS.  They put their mental powers to work figuring out ways to help the good doctor use his mental powers more efficiently.  And, unlike so many things in this day and age, it worked.  Soon, with a poofy cape and a cocked eyebrow, our hero emerged …Doctorious. 

Masses of paper begone! Stacks and stacks of charts – Vamoose!  What’s Mrs. Moore’s status this morning?  Click click click Enter – A-ha! There it is, in plain Latin!

Doctorious was a changed man.  His practice was a more efficient practice.  His rounds went more efficiently.  And his stretched out days were over.

Strengths: 
• Has been clocked making rounds in record time because comprehensive patient information is now at his fingertips
• No longer walks 100 miles a day searching for patient charts – now accesses radiology exams, lab results and other historical data electronically in real-time Migraines no more. 
• Coding is now linked to documentation so both accuracy and reimbursements have dramatically improved.
• Leaves his practice in time for Jeopardy due to the increased efficiencies

Weaknesses:  Terrible cook.  Puns.
