Good communication with other depts/doctors
Learn together through discussing cases
Internet access for reference/teaching
Friendly environment (between staff)
Respect from patients/families
Weaknesses (PaBexSay):
What do we do poorly?
Opportunities (PaBGacnWgceRmInrugerOg):
Review charts
Daily: review10 charts (maybe need to review all undergrad charts and some of graduate charts)
Weekly: review 4-5 charts with juniors (7-7:30am) Discuss what they did well and areas that they could
improve
Role of nursing staff in chart review (Quality control nurse)
Review interesting cases together
Chief needs to manage time well (prep patient ahead of time, keep learning focused)
Chiefs need to encourage juniors encourage questions, be good role models, motivate them
Between each patient, ask a different junior, Are you doing okay? Do you have any questions? Have you seen
anything interesting?

What can we do to help the outpatient department better reach its goals? (
)
OPD vice-chiefs can get together and discuss a policy for outpatient teaching focusing on the
opportunities discussed.
Ive just put together a quick example of an outpatient template it makes things quicker, easier to
read, and hopefully reminds the provider what to examine. They dont have to examine everything
just whatever systems are relevant to the illness.
