The point of the electronic request for the xray company is the data entry girls dont have to enter it when the patient fronts....big big big savings (data entry is basically expensive) same as path and also big improvement in reducing errors on data entry...on the downside as has been pointed out is what to do with the % of no shows clogging the databases...and more importantly what medicolegal obligations does that raise...re followup of noshows... oh if only people would accept responsibility for their own actions the world would be a better place.. ;) JD _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
