Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, participants discuss how to address backlog in a busy medical practice. Dr. Call explains that it requires daily reviews from the team, including practice administrators, APP teams, physicians, and nursing managers. They also mention the challenge of COVID testing for procedures. Dr. Shields mentions tracking referrals and prioritizing patients with specific diagnoses to manage waiting times. However, if the demand continues to exceed capacity, they suggest expanding endoscopy volume or having patients seen by other providers. They note that the sustained demand for medical services necessitates potential expansion. A billing question is also addressed, suggesting the use of time-based billing code for a patient with AFib referred for colorectal cancer screening.
