Amy: Good Morning.
Dr. Roensch got married in May. She is now Dr. Tyler. Some insurances still have her as Roensch so it will be Roensch-Tyler while slowly making the transition.
Patient last month had HIV. An alert pops up now. In future put Code 15 so if it is left up on screen no other patient will see it. If you see or know of any other patients, please make the adjustment in chart and add black dot on routing sheet.
Work excuses for patients: At checkout they may ask for one and they have to go on what the pts tells them. If it is more than one day techs need to do the excuse or write on routing sheet. Make sure it is what the physician wants if possible. Companies have called to verify accuracy of documents.
Last month Dr. C talked about PQRS codes changing to MIBS. It is just a name change, code is the same.
Refraction fee increasing to $49 this year.
The Carlins asked to talk about cell phone usage. They are used too often in the patient areas. Put them away. If you need to use it, go away from patient area.
Employee arrival times: Working on revamping of schedules and flow. If you work at 8:00, you need to be here and clocked in by 7:55 so you can get the patients started. Also applies to lunch hour so be timely and clock in by 12:50.
John and Nancy, our cleaning people, only come Monday thru Friday. If there is a mess left on Saturday, please take a moment to clean it up.
Please do not flush feminine hygiene products down the toilet.
Techs: put your belongings in your locker. Let Amy know if you don’t have one.
When wearing pink scrubs and brown pants wear brown shoes and with blue scrubs wear black shoes.
Mandy: Remind techs no lunch and learn on Feb 15th. We’re meeting with Dr. David instead. There will also be tech training classes starting at 7:30 on March 1st. Other employees also welcome to attend.
Scribes use another color on routing sheets other than black. Highlighters suggested.
When sending a patient to contacts put in a contact lens tab. Also manually put Ks in – the epic is not uploading them.
Front office: There will be separate meetings for check-in/checkout/phones for the near future. Checkout Feb. 8th @ 7:15; Check-in Feb. 15th @ 7:15. (will be training on Clearwave).
Scott: Next Wednesday is Taste of Carlin Vision. We need drinks, etc. if you don’t want to cook. John will pass out reminders. Bowling nigh is Feb. 25th. Sign up by the 3rd. Details to follow. John will pass out reminders.
Optical: Finalize Rx, please look at the Rx change and check they are seeing 20/20.
Cataracts: Please make sure doctors are filling out sticky notes and if changing meds so we can give the correct follow up sheets for them or their problem.
Diana & Contacts: No comment.
John: LASIK Spring Special of $500 off Lasik launching on the 6th.
