NOTES
6. ✦ For computerized scheduling,
verify that the telephone numbers
in the system are correct. If they
are incorrect, take the time right
then to update them. Correct
contact information is necessary
if the oce needs to get in
touch with the patient before
the appointment. For manual
scheduling, ask the patient for
current work and home telephone
numbers, including the area code.
Include a cell phone number if
the patient has one. Write these
numbers next to the patient’s
name.
7. ✦ Record the reason for the visit
on the schedule, using accepted
medical abbreviations only.
8. ✶ Allow the correct amount of
time for the appointment. If an
appointment will take more than
the minimum time allotted on
the schedule, be sure to adjust
the length of time as needed.
For computerized scheduling,
you may specify the length of
the appointment by entering the
number of minutes, such as 15,
30, or 60 minutes. Some systems
may allow you to highlight the
time blocks on the screen. For
manual scheduling, draw an
arrow to indicate that the patient
requires two or three blocks of
time. In some oces, a line is
drawn across the time blocks.
9. ✦ After the appointment is
recorded, repeat to the patient
the date, time, and any special
instructions.
