Patient Feedback Analysis

Decent Essays
Thank you for your recent feedback on the job we are doing here at EPIC Primary Care.

I wanted to take a moment to share with you how your feedback is shaping change at our practice.

In the simplest terms, waiting time has become too long.

It would be easy to blame overbooking, or patient’s showing up late and throwing off our schedules. But the fact is, Healthcare delivery in this country is changing. Government and insurance company mandates drive some of this, some of it is due to the advanced technology that affects every aspect your care, some of it is the expectations of patients like you who want a bigger say in planning their own care.

We share your frustration, and we are taking action.

First, we are optimizing our scheduling.

    Patient no-shows are detrimental to health care facilities. This paper will not only address the issue of patient no-shows, but analyze determining factors and present a solution. For the purpose of our study, a no-show is referred to as a patient who does not show up to their scheduled examination or who calls within fifteen minutes prior to their examination time to reschedule. By calling just fifteen minutes prior or less, that does not leave any chance for the examination slot to be filled by booking another patient. Although calling to reschedule the same day of the appointment, greater than fifteen minutes, can still cause an empty examination slot, as long as the reschedule was made more than fifteen minutes prior of the appointment…

    Historically, these current billing practices have driven up the cost of care, decreased access, and created delays in care. This system fosters unproductive use of the healthcare workforce in ways that continue to limit the ability of nurse practitioners to access their patients, especially in underserved and rural areas. To further complicate the reimbursement of nurse practitioners, the clinical role of NP’s is directed largely by state scope-of-practice laws that determine the services that can be billed independently and those that NP’s can provide with physician oversight. Currently, 18 states permit NP’s to treat, diagnose and prescribe medications for patients without physician supervision or collaboration, while seven states require…

    Introduction The array of regulations that the healthcare industry is subject to is vast, and some would argue that this level of complexity contributes to a health system that is not only inefficient but also stifles innovation (Maliyil, 2016). However, one specific healthcare legislation, the HITECH Act has led to an eight-fold increase in the adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems by non-federal acute care hospitals since it was enacted in 2009 (The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, 2015). This proliferation of EHR systems has, in turn, has spurred other innovative Health Information Technology (HIT) solutions many of which are consumer centric such as the ability for a patient to schedule…

The New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen. " Opportunity cost is a key concept in economics, and has been described as expressing "the basic relationship between scarcity and choice (Buchanan, 2008). Opportunity costs play a role in decision-making to ensure that scarce resources are utilized efficiently. Opportunity cost is not only monetary or financial but can be associated with loss of time, experiences…
