• Maintain productivity standards in order to sustain fiscal viability while maintaining high quality medical care.
• Answer messages and sign off on clinical reports (consults, lab, x‑rays, etc.) in a timely manner.
• Complete legible and legally defensible medical records in a timely manner on a daily basis.
• Complete and submit all billing in an agreed upon timely manner.
• Attend continuing education programs and provide evidence of necessary education completion to upgrade medical skills and maintain licensing requirements.
