AI Article Synopsis
- Access to pediatric neurology care is often limited and can have long wait times, leading to the need for a more efficient referral process.
- A new web-based system called "Rapid Access Scheduler" (RASr) was created, allowing outside providers to directly schedule appointments for pediatric neurology using a user-friendly calendar view.
- This innovative approach gives outside providers more control over scheduling, improves visibility of available appointment slots, and helps keep families informed about their care in a timely manner.
Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Access to pediatric neurology care is limited, and outpatient waits can exceed 6 months. The referral process is often complex and burdensome. Our objective was to trial a program for scheduling access to pediatric neurology, to be controlled and accessed directly by outside providers.
Recent Findings: We developed a web-based automated system, "Rapid Access Scheduler" (RASr), for direct scheduling by outside providers. RASr is built around a calendar view that allows the provider to see and reserve an available slot at the time of care. Once a slot is reserved, the scheduling team contacts the family to finalize scheduling.
Summary: The RASr system is a novel approach for facilitating pediatric neurology patient access through direct scheduling by outside providers using a web-based portal. Advantages of this include control and responsibility by outside providers, easy visibility of availability, and opportunity to inform patients and families at their point-of-care.
