Mailboxes Make Tasks Fairer and Easier
Put those 10 minutes your staff sometimes have between cases to good use. We used to let chart corrections, post-op phone calls and other chores pile up until the end of the day, when some unlucky person would get stuck trying to handle everything. Now we have individualized mailboxes for everyone, and the charge nurse passes out the day's tasks each morning. People can take advantage of any downtime they might have to get their jobs done, so we're doing a much better job of keeping up, and everything is distributed evenly, so no one gets stuck having to do more than her fair share.
