If a patient is late for their appointment, what are the steps we need to take to check if the patient will be seen for that day?
Check in the patient. We need this to have a timestamp to show what time they arrived at even though it is past the 15 minute mark.
Check with Nurses! The nurses are our point of contact here! They are the ones who are checking the providers schedules and making sure if we are able to see that patient for today. Follow these steps to get a hold of them:
- Call on Vocera
- Call at their extension
- Go and talk to them directly
Depending on what the answer, we will either:
-Still see the patient
- Reschedule for another day
- OR is sent to UC if it needs to be addressed and provider cannot see them
