One of my first projects as Program Director was to codify the “Yale Way,” our system for note writing and presenting on rounds. The Yale Way isn’t unique to Yale, of course; other institutions use the same method, more or less. But codification works. It ensures we all speak the same language and tell stories that are thorough, concise, efficient, lucid, and easy to follow.

This is the time of year to establish good habits, so with that in mind, I offer these notes on notes:

Baker’s dozen. Seniors- remember to attach a succinct addendum to all Intern H&Ps. You contributed to the patient’s workup. We need to see your thoughts.

This list is incomplete, of course, and I’d love to hear your ideas. Remember, we can’t take great care of our patients if we don’t communicate well. Look over your notes. Make them memorable. Things of beauty. And think before you sign.

With that, I’m off to join my Fitkin team.
