HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Randy- We are Magic 5.4 here at Good Shepherd Medical Center. We have several departments on CWS which include: Medical Imaging (all modalities), Infusion Therapy, Sleep Lab, Cardio Diagnostics, Pulmonary Services, Neurology, Speech Therapy, Pre-Admission Testing, Cardiac Rehab, Pulmonary Rehab and Wound Care. Some of these departments are scheduled by a Centralized Scheduling area (Medical Imaging, Pre-Admission Testing, Cardio Diagnostics, Neurology and Speech Therapy). However, some of these are not scheduled that way (Sleep Lab and Pulmonary Services are scheduled in one area) (Cardiac Rehab and Pulmonary Rehab are scheduled in one area) (Wound Care is scheduled by Wound Care Department) (Infusion Therapy is scheduled ! by themselves). In Infusion Therapy, you are scheduling patients whose therapy may take 2 hours for one patient and only 1 hour for another. The Nurses who work in that area know their patients and can determine the length of time that patient requires. Therefore, they schedule their own patients. In Medical Imaging, most of the time an exam takes a certain defined amount of time. You may just have to take in account when developing your appointments to be specific to maybe pediatric patients, for example, that may need more time allotted than an adult having the same exam. We did not bring all of these departments on line at the same time. The process of going from a book to the computer is a project in its own right, depending upon how busy the departments are. It is a huge transition to go from writing the information down to being on the phone and on the computer at the same time. However, having the information available to Re! gistration and Insurance Verification is just great!! Our registrat ion staff registers from scheduling. Good luck to you. You can contact me if you like if you need additional information.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Anyone willing to share information pertaining to their implementing a Centralized Scheduling Department. What are the pros and cons? Has it worked? Was it! received well by Medical Staff? What departments do you schedule for? Any information would be appreciated. We are definitely going forward with this endeavor. We presently use CWS, MSM but everything is decentrailzed. Multiple departments scheduling their own.
