Open Access Health Care
Open Access Health Care
Wouldn’t it be great to see your doctor when you really need to? As of May 1, 2009, Dr. del Junco and Dr. Jackson have gone to an Open Access Booking System.
Our goal is to offer same day or next day appointments when you call.
What is Open Access?
Open access for appointments is the opportunity for patients to see their own provider on the day of their choosing. The term “access” is used to focus on reducing delays for an appointment.
What it’s not…
• An Open Access model is not about limiting or controlling a patient’s ability to book appointments.
• An Open Access model is not about promoting a walk-in culture; appointments will still be needed to see your doctor.
What it is…
• An Access model is about doing today’s work today. That means addressing your concerns as they arise and preventing long wait times to see your family doctor.
• Improving access leads to greater patient and staff satisfaction. When practices and clinics implement changes that improve access, they also improved quality and efficiency of care.
What Should I do as a Patient?
Call on the day you would like to be seen.
We appreciate your patience during this time of transition.
Sincerely,
Maria del Junco, Beverley Jackson, Jessica Ross, Mildred Quiroga and Emily Peterson
