Terrible communication between upper management/HR and staff. Expectation is to be available to see patients anytime between 8 and 5 pm, no blocked admin time. Frequent meetings. Patients late 45 min? No problem, you still get to see them, and no worries, the expectation is that you do a full assessment, they will tell you all whats missing next time you meet the patient! Very negative feel. Documentation has to be closed same day (not 24 hours like they tell you in interview). This translates into working past 5 pm, after sitting at desk for 9 hrsx5 days a week On call with no compensation. Multiple New patients daily, not uncommon to have 4 new complex patients in a day. Don't let the number of Patients deceive you! These are very complex patients with multiple risks and comorbidities in Addictions, Mental Health and Primary Care. Answer crisis calls in addition to patients. Micromanaging is a huge issue. Non medical staff telling you how to practice. EMR and technology doesn't work half the time. Very frustrating. Also much belittleling going on towards medical staff.
