Re: Consultation Letters
I was wondering if many offices send the chart notes to the doctor that is requesting the consultation to meet the consultation requirement. Our charts seem to be constantly on the move, and often by the time the doctor gets to the chart it is after the procedure, which to my mind would confirm a transfer of care. Our doctors give our charts to the surgery scheduler to discuss the scheduling while the patient is in the office, so the chart often gets dispersed to multiple employees before it returns to the doctor. Do must offices dictate a formal letter? Any suggestions as to how to simplify the process.
Thanks,
Dee
