I schedule appointments and transportation for those that we can not take to their Dr. appointments. Here is our process and you give me idea's of how to make this better. Person writes orders and this person is suppose to put order in a transportation book for me. The second way this could go is: I schedule an appointment and give to said person, they write the order and then it's suppose to go into the book for me to schedule transportation/put on calender. They usually miss the step of putting the order back in transportations book to get them transportation to go out. My boss wants me to come up with a better way, I just don't know of any other way.

That way you are the one responsible for making sure it gets in the book and not relying on someone else to get it in there.. At our clinic when we try to use the least amount of steps we try to eliminate the amount of people that touch the thing.

When I wrote the orders for the appointments etc, I still had to take it to a nurse to sign off on and then if they would not do it right then, that order may not make it to the medical records box to be put in the computer. We are not completley electronic yet.

If you’re not the Top Dog (aka their Doc) they don’t give a rats @ss about what you asked them to do You need to get the upper hand In one office at my clinic they talk about nurses and how “well trained and well behaved” they have some of them Good luck there are some that can be awful to deal with.
