|
| Pine City Ultrasound
|
Ultrasound schedules are now open on Monday mornings and Thursday afternoons.
If no patients are scheduled, imaging will check provider schedules to see if there is a possibility of an add-on.
|
If no possibility of an add-on, US tech will be sent to Mora to help with the patient load.
|
| Breast Screening Quality Goal
|
We are at 82%.
We are now sending no answer patient’s letters with a mystery gift coupon. Four mystery gift coupons have been redeemed. We are creating a list of the patients that refuse their mammograms.
|
This list is sent to Dawn Brown who will distribute to the providers. Perhaps the providers can encourage these patients to have their mammograms.
We only need approximately 80 more patients to have their mammograms in order to meet the goal of 86.5%.

These appointments will be added on the mornings that the Cady’s are in Pine City.
