As I said, no point launching all the fancy programmes and infrastructure what not when the basics can’t even be gotten right.

If the management truly wants OPS to continue in this current state, then they should just let it fully be run by MOPEX, with one MMeder as head.
Everybody just anyhow see patients, 3-5 min per patient to clear KPI.

Those who see the light should just leave ASAP and let OPS devolve back into the 1980s when it’s run by crappy doctors and MOPEX.
It's not just OPS.
It is across all medicine.
The objective is to do what the CPG recommends.
As long as all the boxes ticked. Patient no bad outcome can already.
There is ABSOLUTELY ZERO reward for producing results.
But ALL THE RISK if things go badly. Sometimes it is just bad luck.
Like that 3 year old who kena Acute necrotizing encephalopathy after flu shot.
As a doctor you must learn this. Your role is to do safe things that is JUST ENOUGH.
Those bonus is more for doing higher volume work - bring in more revenue and money (again by doing JUST ENOUGH you have more time to see more patients so more money) or in institution is writing papers, admin etc.
NOBODY cares about you helping that lady with HBA1c 10 drop down to 6.5. Your effort is just lumped into the whole clinic DM KPI numbers.
Work smart otherwise you will burn out and for what?
Medicine is a long game. No FIRE.
