• What do you do if you must have an answer but cannot get hold of the individual with the information?

• One answer is to sit at the phone all day trying to contact them. Unfortunately, this means missing out on the important work itself.

• A call-back center will do everything they can to make contact with the person and get the information needed. Even if it takes all night.

• Doctors may be well-paid, but there is a reason for that. Namely that they have very little time for themselves.

• Left unchecked and your doctors can began to experience work fatigue. This means a potential loss in quality care.

• As nice as any doctor may be, no-one wants to be contacted directly by patients once they’ve left the hospital.

• While it’s important to be stay appraised of a patients status, giving out a personal phone number is often a recipe for a headache or worse.

• Any doctor can use the call-center as their personal contact number. This gives patients an avenue of contact while maintaining professional distance.
