Outpatient nurses-is it common for your secretaries to schedule pts without notifying them?

Wait 5 sec.

Newish to outpatient cardiology. Id consider our practice as a whole to be quite good. But i’ve noticed the secretaries frequently schedule/reschedule pts for appts or procedures without actually contacting them to ask if that date/time works. This leads to a lot of no shows, which we do track and take into consideration when a refill or clearance is requested. Please tell me i’m not crazy for this driving me insane??   submitted by   /u/h0td0g-water [link]   [comments]
