GYN disposition
A little helpful information for obtaining f/u for your gyn patients who need to be seen soon (days to weeks)
1. Choose category misleadingly labeled “GYN follow-up within 1 month”
a. Patient will be seen in a range of 2 days to 1 month based on the clinical issue
2. Please be specific about what the clinical issue is (i.e. “needs evaluation of post menopausal bleeding”, or “follow-up after I and D of Bartholin Cyst”)
a. See 1a above- if you don’t write it, they don’t know why you are requesting rapid follow-up
3. If you are able- put the patient’s cell phone # in the request or document in the chart
a. The follow-up can only be arranged if the clinic can contact the patient
b. Patients may not give correct phone # at registration because of billing concerns
Our colleagues in gyn want to provide good service (appropriately time follow-up) for patients with gyn complaints but need your help- steps 1,2, and 3 above to facilitate.
Thanks,
Luke
