ICT Tip 192 – General – My last Tip, Embrace ICT and the EMR
Today I transition further into retirement by leaving my day-to-day role with Centric. You might still see me around occasionally as I have agreed to help with some specific projects, like DigiBio and future migrations, but I retire today from my day-to-day involvement.
I’m delighted to advise that Shauna Byrne has volunteered to take over sending regular tips. Shauna is a valued member, as an Innovation Specialist, of the Innovation team. You probably know her from the excellent work she does on Patient Experience training and induction training for new admin staff among many other things.
I know from working with Shauna that she has a wealth of experience with Socrates, both from an in-depth knowledge point of view and most importantly from a day-to-day practical point of view. The tips are in safe hands.
As you know only GPs can post on the Centric GP Forum so the plan is Shauna will e-mail the tips to Paul Carroll and he will forward them on to you via the Centric GP Forum.
I passionately believe that making full use of IT capability, especially the use of a good Electronic Medical Record (EMR), helps improve quality of care and patient outcomes.
For that reason, my last tip is to advise that you continue to embrace the use of IT in your practice and, in particular, learn all the things that your EMR can do, and can help you to do. It is only going to get better with time and I encourage you to keep learning and embracing all that will evolve. Who knows what AI will bring, maybe we will finally have good clinical decision support (CDS) products to help us in our work. Watch out for xWaves, a CDS for choosing the most appropriate radiology investigation in a given clinical scenario which should be available soon. There is always something exciting on the horizon, but also remember there is lots of unfilled potential in what is already available at your fingertips. I say, learn them, embrace them and become a more efficient, lean and effective practitioner. I hope I have helped in some small way in you achieving that.

Congratulations Michael and thanks for everything.
Between your mother and father who were personally so kind to Anne and I 40
years ago and the long forgotten GP Wife’s Association who did so much to
make their husband GPs ( mainly men) who, in rural areas ,worked 24/7/365
sit up and realise that there was more to life than work and your good self.
It has been a pleasure and we wish you all the best for the future. Ernán

All the best with your retirement, I imagine you will be busier than when you were employed.
Thank you so much for all your help and support over the last few years since our practice joined Centric. Your tips have been really helpful and your comment about IT is so right. Socrates may not do all we want it to do right now, hopefully that will improve, but I am constantly learning about things it can do that I never knew about and each time I do it makes it easier to care for patient.

Michael has been the lighthouse keeper for Centric Health - he is for ever vigilant, aware and watchful on our behalf. The foundation needless to say has been a stellar 35 plus year career in Blessington carrying on the great work on behalf of his dad Dr. P.K. Joyce a legend in West Wicklow. As well as tending to his patient's best interests, Michael fundamentally has always been collegiate and everything he has done in his career in the practice, as a founding director of K Doc, as the super-user expert in the health one user group and with us as colleagues in Centric Health has been for the collective benefit. Michael epitomises the Power of the Team.

Dear Michael
Your (au revoir from Tips words) are as wise now as they always have been, well-judged too and suiting the moment.
Ray points out your other achievements: K-Doc, Health One and the Sentinel network are significant accomplishments which made GP life better for patients and Drs alike.
I doubt if you are completely retiring from everything, so no doubt we will see you around.

Michael,
A quick note to wish you the very best of luck with your retirement. You have been a stalwart of Centric Health, having worn many hats over the last few years, and we have particularly enjoyed your IT tips. I’m glad to hear that will continue as the baton is handed over to Shauna Byrne.
We will miss having you around, and personally I found you to always have excellent rationale, wisdom and affability. Don’t be shy of Blessington, you are welcome any time, I think you know that by now.
Most of all, make the best use of your golden years, climb mountains, drink whiskey, venture to places unknown, and challenge yourself, it will keep you young!

It is only going to get better with time and I encourage you to keep learning and embracing all that will evolve. Who knows what AI will bring, maybe we will finally have good clinical decision support (CDS) products to help us in our work. Watch out for xWaves, a CDS for choosing the most appropriate radiology investigation in a given clinical scenario which should be available soon. There is always something exciting on the horizon, but also remember there is lots of unfilled potential in what is already available at your fingertips. I say, learn them, embrace them and become a more efficient, lean and effective practitioner. I hope I have helped in some small way in you achieving that.
