4.) Let them know what your thinking

Residents are role modeling your behavior and always watching your behavior and watching what you are dealing with. If you are moving pts around the dept or arranging for transfers let them know what challenges you are overcoming

3.) Work on micro skills

Being efficient is not just one thing - it's gathering data quickly (EMR + pt), having accurate orders, thinking 3 steps ahead, anticipating and overcoming roadblocks

Work on just 1 or 2 things per shift

1.) Don't have unreasonable expectations

Don't expect a PGY-1 to operate at a PGY-3/4s efficiency

Keep track of efficiency metrics of your residents - and feed that data back to residents so they know where they are and where they need to be.
