We are a surgery clinic and all of our clinic days are booked out at least 1 month. When we set up an appt, people usually are aware of that fact. But I get people missing appts all the time and then whining that they can't get in for another month.

Also phone lines being jammed at 0700 was a problem. Now we are "allowed" to start making next day appointments at 2pm if we are booked. Working for a medium physician organization we also have "Express Care" at three locations which treats minor aliments like pink-eye, strep, etc. by a NP or PA either first thing in the am or after work until 8. The added benefit of this is not having an urgent care co-pay, which is usually higher than a co-pay for an office visit.OldSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631679459919246536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-40595802236985247312013-03-22T00:08:07.763-04:002013-03-22T00:08:07.763-04:00Did you read about the ex-mayor of San Diego?

Is it not making abouts for later in the week....ie, I attempted to make an appointment in the afternoon for the following day (pink eye)but they would not do that. Instead, I had to call the next morning for a same day appointment. I find this practice annoying, but I guess is allows them to have "open access"Cape Cod Step-Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464751435203918710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-8165800620715375422013-03-21T16:16:09.711-04:002013-03-21T16:16:09.711-04:00The very first intake sheet should have a line tha...The very first intake sheet should have a line that says: "Define Emergency"gloria pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-75425399337967699422013-03-21T13:30:20.245-04:002013-03-21T13:30:20.245-04:00Ditto Anon @ 1147 ~ thanks for the chuckle!
