Episode 79: Lean Clinical Medicine Solutions, Maximizing Efficiency & Achieving Balance


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 79 of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast!

In this episode, we delve into innovative and sustainable clinical practices that benefit both healthcare professionals and patients. We hear from Dr. Mitra Sadhu, a nephrologist from Florida who has successfully created a lean, private practice that allows her to work part-time while prioritizing family and other interests.

Dr. Sadhu discusses her journey to find a flexible work arrangement that didn't require long hours, her observations regarding physician burnout, and the challenges and rewards of building a practice with lean principles at its core.

We explore her strategies for maximizing efficiency, minimizing waste, and delivering value to patients while maintaining a sustainable work-life balance. We always have choices out of burnout.

Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:

  1. Emphasizing Lean Thinking: Dr. Sadhu’s approach to minimizing waste and optimizing processes led her to streamline her practice, reducing overhead costs and enabling part-time work while maintaining profitability.
  2. Efficient Patient Management: Utilizing digital tools, such as secure messaging apps and text reminders, effectively managing patient communication and encouraging proactive engagement for improved clinical efficiency.
  3. Innovation is key: By intentionally choosing a shared workspace and implementing lean strategies, Dr. Sadhu carved out a part-time practice that allows her to prioritize family and personal interests.
  4. Dr. Sanghamitra (Mitra) Sadhu Bio:

    Dr. Mitra Sadhu is a physician, mom, speaker, blogger, change catalyst and a vocal champion for lean practice.

    She is a nephrologist by training who has found a way to practice medicine on her own terms, staving off burnout and bringing back the joy in medicine. Dr. Sadhu wanted to save her best energy, not only for her patients but also her family. She accomplished this with having her own lean private practice: taking care of her patients exactly the way she dreamt of, while still leaving her time to devote to family, travel and all else that she enjoys.

    The freedoms this has allowed her has made her an ardent advocate of lean practice as a sustainable model for many physicians to practice in. She writes about her journey and the lessons learned at Lean Private Practice Solutions, and has built a thriving Facebook community around it.

    She has also created an innovative solution to the problem of high cost of medical office space with an online platform that connects doctors and other healthcare professionals to available medical office space to lease or sublet at LinkMedicalSpaces.com
