Between 6 and 10% of medical appointments are not honored, according to the Academy of Medicine and the Order of Physicians. This represents two hours a week in a doctor’s schedule. A time that might be used to receive other patients, and thus fight once morest medical deserts.
Faced with this problem, the Senate added an amendment to the law of the deputy Renaissance Stéphanie Rist aimed at improving the health system. It would compensate the doctor in the event that the patient does not come to his appointment.
You are a doctor or health professional, how often are you subject to appointments not being honored by your patients? How does this impact your working days? What have you put in place to fight once morest these rabbits? Do you charge your patients for missed appointments? What do you do with your patients who have repeatedly missed their appointments?
