Greg Path labs don't know when PAP smear is due. They can follow the recommendations, but the fllow up may be earlier than 2 years because of the clinical situation. TheDoctor determines when follow up is due. Surely the Doctor enters a recall date in his computer - or is he / she too lazy to do it, or doesn't know how to get the recalls out ?
Radiology: Patients often go to a different X-ray povider than the one GP selects. Now if the E-mailed company has to chase the patient for a no show, when in fact patient went elsewhere, we again open a Pandoras box. When they then also inform the GP of a no show when patient went elsewhere ......... Cedric ----------------------------Original Message----------------------------------- Guys, I agree. I'd actually think a system for notifying the GP of the 'no shows' would be easy to build into the system and would be another huge advantage. Similar to the path providers' advice to GPs when patients' Paps are due again. Everyone's arse is protected that way. All the regular patients will already know the way to the pathology/radiology centre their GP uses. I know I do. Maybe a list at the front desk, or a sign, for those who don't? No problem for the big medical centres either, as it's just down the hall.
