During the typical 8-to-5 workday, Emilie Keene, MHA, administrator of Parkridge Surgery Center in Columbia, S.C., spends the bulk of her time attending to what she calls "immediate issues" conference calls, meetings, employee- and patient-related concerns, and anything else that comes across the threshold of her always-open office door. When the lights go out in the clinical areas and the rest of the staff leaves for the day, Ms. Keene returns to her desk and begins attending to the mounting piles of regulatory paperwork, unread e-mails and financial invoices vying for her attention. When she finally closes up shop and heads home for the day, she knows that whatever dent she's made in the workload will probably be refilled by the time 5 o'clock rolls around tomorrow.
