A Quality Improvement Study to Identify Deterrents and Improve Voice Patient Compliance with Follow-Up.

Objective: Evaluation and treatment for voice disorders may optimally involve multiple treatment modalities. However, even in multispecialty clinics, patients may be less likely to comply with follow-up compared to patients seen for other otolaryngologic complaints. We investigated the factors contributing to noncompliance and then implemented quality improvement metrics aimed at improving our clinical noncompliance rates.
