A P R I L 2 0 1 7 • O U T PA T I E N TS U R G E R Y. N E T • 1 7 Here's how it works: Every month we sort our 12 to 15 office sched- ulers into 3 categories based on the number of patients they bring in: fewer than 10; 11 to 20; and 20 or more. Our system tells us the origin of each assessment, meaning which office it came from. We visit the winning offices to deliver a trophy they get to keep all month and a dozen gourmet doughnuts. The competition has generated a lot of excitement. When we started the contest last September, 71.9% of our patients were completing their online health histories. By December, the participation rate had risen to 83.4% — and that number just keeps on growing. When a patient's med- ical information is available to you well in advance of a planned proce- dure, and the information is legible, accurate and complete, you can work to prevent day-of-surgery surprises.
