Crowd-sourcing innovative cost savings ideas from the front lines of care delivery systems

why not open a lab on Sat for the working people

Idea Status: 

Hi,

 CPMC at 3838 California St has a LAB open on Sat , I think 9- 3PM, which is  very helpful for people who cannot go to the lab during the week because they cannot take time off from work. I also think more revenue would be generated by doing this. It also might cut down on traffic, and parking.

 

No. 2 Ideal   Do not send bills for 15. dollar or 20.  dollar copays, Collect all copays  and monies due at the front desk at the time of the visit.  It cost much more to send  bills for  co pays and monies due.

 

3rd Ideal  We at OHS have a short  huddle  meeting every morning when we all arrive at 7:30 AM.

Our wonderful director, manager,  and our team always has a  voice and discuss what is happening and what is needed during the day and week.  We always know if we have any urgent workers comp appointments and if we do not what we need to do so that employees may avoid  the ER which saves employees time and the hospital revenue. It is a real pleasure to work with the OHS team

With Respect,

April Andrews
