Facilities lose a lot of potential revenue by relying on phone calls, emails, and faxes for communication and on spreadsheets to keep track of documentation. Don't let your facility be one of them. There is a rich selection of online surgical scheduling tools to help you follow the best practices for surgery scheduling. For example, PreferredMD surgical scheduling software, was created with the help of over 50 physician practices and facilities, so you can be certain it has all the features you may need now and in the future. It's not the invention of businesspeople in offices but of practicing medical specialists who have experienced the same bottlenecks, wasted hours, and messy documentation (not to mention stress) that you have.
