SCHEDULING SERVICES AND DPA THE DOWNSTREAM IMPACT OF A STRONG SCHEDULING PLAN

by | Jun 22, 2021 | 0 comments

Over the years, health center leaders have learned how important patient scheduling is in achieving multiple strategic goals.  For example, proper scheduling can effect patient satisfaction through reduced wait times.  Reduced wait times can result in low “no show” rates.  And low “no show” rates can positively influence organization revenue.  This is why so many health centers, in recent years, have begun auditing their scheduling workflows, increased their investment in scheduling functions and even outsourced patient calls and scheduling to outside experts.

Whether you prefer that someone manage your full scheduling function or simply to augment what you have in place today (through management of overflow calls), Call4Health is here to help.
