How can physicians prepare for a leave of absence from clinical work?

Question: What steps should physicians contemplating a leave of absence take to ensure continuity of Connect Care?

Answer: 
  1. Notify Medical Affairs: Physicians must inform AHS Medical Affairs about their leave. This ensures their Connect Care access is appropriately managed.
  2. Access Suspension: 
    • Connect Care access will typically be suspended during the leave to maintain system security and licensing compliance.
  3. Reactivation Process:
    • Before returning to work, physicians must request reactivation of their Connect Care access.
    • Depending on the length of the leave, refresher training may be required before access is restored.
  4. Delegate Responsibilities: 
    • Physicians should ensure that any in-basket messages or clinical responsibilities are delegated to a covering provider during their absence.
  5. Update Contact Information: 
    • It's important to keep contact details current in case follow-up is needed during the leave.
