Description:
A questionnaire has been developed and used extensively as an aid to the appointment office in determining what department a patient should be referred to and what time for special consultations should be reserved. It has helped to maintain a balanced case load and informs the physician in advance about the patients he will see. By coordinating appointments so that the patient can visit two or more of the specialty departments in one day rather than having to return a number of times to see different doctors, it has increased efficiency. The questionnaire screens for important symptoms or trouble spots to which the computer is programmed to assign scoring values which in turn point out the clinic division or section to which the patient should initially be referred.
