▫▫ Can your office or doctor call/email/text you,

and if so, when and how often?
Can patients reach out to you directly via
email or text?
Will you remote in and check chart notes, generate treatment plans, or reach out to patients
personally?

▫▫ Are you willing to do any virtual consults?
Each office will have its own answers to the many
questions above, but thinking through the steps
needed to keep your office running will ensure
a transition into working parent life that is as
smooth as possible.
And then, despite your best intentions, there's the
unexpected.
I left work one normal day in April, with an August
31 due date and didn't return until my son was 6
weeks old-in September. (Sounds like many of us
in March 2020!) My sudden and total bed rest was
a surprise, not unlike the shelter in place closure
many of us experienced this spring. I was thankful
for the ability to remote into my office (set this up
ASAP if you don't already have it!). I could instruct
my team to prioritize specific patient appointments

and postpone others while we modified the schedule to fit what my covering doctors could do on
short notice. From home, I would look at the daily
schedule and leave notes in a Word document for
the covering doctor each morning, and she would
reply with her own notes or questions from the day.
My office didn't have mass email capabilities,
so I sent a letter via snail mail to all my patients,
plus social media posts, letting them know the
situation and that they could contact me directly
through email. If you don't have a way to blast
email or text your patients, get that ASAP too!
With all the advancements in virtual consults, I
would strongly suggest having something set up,
especially for an unexpected extended absence.
If I had been able to remote into a few more challenging patients or consults, I think the process
would have gone more smoothly.
Thinking through these questions and making all
these preparations may seem like a lot of work,
but the parallels to the shelter in place are obvious. We never know when something will force
us out of the office with little to no notice. Putting
your practice in a position to survive without you
temporarily is an important plan for all of us.
