Doctor, how much time do you really spend with your patients?

Less admin. A workstation that doesn't wear you out. More time to care.

A doctor's day often spills into the evening: records, letters, claims, phone calls, software that doesn't talk to each other. MedEfficiency starts on the ground: we observe the practice as it actually runs, then simplify the organisation, the workstation and the tools.

Our principle: the doctor cares for patients, and the practice is organised around the doctor, not the other way round.
01 Warning signs

Does this sound familiar?

These difficulties are not an inevitable part of the job. Most come from organisation, not from your patient load.

Evenings spent on admin

More than an hour of paperwork after the last appointment.

A phone that keeps interrupting

Calls, reminders and missed appointments during consultations.

Delays that pile up

Tight schedules, overrunning consultations, a full waiting room.

A tiring workstation

Badly placed screen, unnecessary trips, scattered equipment.

Software that doesn't connect

Calendar, patient records, billing, secure messaging.

An overloaded front desk

Or none at all.

02 The method

C.O.R.E.

Four areas that can be activated separately. You can stop after any of them.

C

Check-up of the practice

Full analysis: patient flow, scheduling, admin time, tools, premises.

O

Optimised ergonomics

Workstation, movement around the practice, storage, equipment.

R

Rationalised admin

Booking, reminders, letter templates, claims, software integration.

E

Everyday efficiency

Organisation of the day, routines, front-desk role, follow-up of results.

The Linden Tree Practice

3 general practitioners, a part-time receptionist, around 90 consultations a day.

The problem

1 h 30 of admin per doctor every evening. Around fifteen calls per half-day during consultations. 6% of appointments missed. Online booking not linked to the practice software.

The intervention

2-day check-up, then 3 areas: R (reminders, letter templates, linked calendar), E (dedicated phone slots, receptionist role redefined), O (redesign of the two main workstations).

Indicator Before Target at 3 months
Admin per doctor per day 1 h 30 45 min
Calls during consultations 15 per half-day Fewer than 5
Missed appointments 6% 3%
Double entry calendar / software Daily Eliminated

Fictitious practice based on a common general-practice situation. Illustrative figures, not actual results.
