In our community clinic, I’m working to bake reproductive health screening into every primary care visit without derailing the day. What quick workflows or tools help you cover contraception counseling, STI risk, and cervical cancer screening in a 15-minute slot? I’ve been using a 1-page intake checklist and offering self-swab STI tests, but I’d love time-saving pearls that keep it patient-centered.
, 15-minute slots are brutal. I have the MA ask the one-liner “Would you like to become pregnant in the next year?” at vitals, which fires a smartphrase that auto-pulls Pap due date, drops in a Bedsider method link (All Birth Control Options | Filter by Type, Effectiveness, Privacy & More), and pends a standing order set for self-swab GC/CT + HIV/syphilis so I’m mostly just reviewing and signing — works well with your 1-page checklist. Do your MAs have permissions to pend the Pap and STI labs before you step in?
Switched to opt-out triage: MA queues urine GC/CT for under-25 or new partners and opens a contraception smartset so I only confirm choice and sign, which keeps a full 15-minute visit on track. Since you’ve got a 1-page checklist and ‘self-swab STI tests’, would adding a ‘Pap due?’ banner that auto-books a 10-min Pap-only slot be workable in your flow? A quick QR to Bedsider’s method chart on the checklist also primes decisions: All Birth Control Options | Filter by Type, Effectiveness, Privacy & More.
