[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working in the field, I can tell you the number of people missing appts have sky rocketed.  We have people that make appts the day before and then don't show up and obviously those that confirm and still don't show up.  [b]The lack of respect for the providers is amazing, so we are forced[/b] to send so many messages reminding people. So everyone has started to double book appts too.

You can thank people that continue to miss appts for this[/quote]

No, you’re not “forced.” You just do. If you have data showing that this works to make me respect providers or appointment times, I’d be interested. Mostly it makes them seem like they’re running an MLM.

We can start talking about who respects whom when providers book slots of reasonable length, show up on time prepared to talk to and examine the patient and not just click around on the EMR, and do things other for which in-person physical presence is mandatory with due regard for the health of people who have to go in for that stuff.

While we’re at this, all of you can get the same EMR so I don’t need 92 passwords to manage you all. Enough already.[/quote]
