O-14-107 Reassign Declined Visit
👤 Responsible Person
Clinical Supervisor
🎯 Purpose
To describe the process for addressing visits that have been sent back to the office by the
clinician as “declined”. Declined visits must be addressed immediately as they need to be rescheduled
out to a different clinician to ensure the visit is not missed. This task is assigned to the Clinical
Supervisor. Start of Care Visits or Add-On Evals scheduled by Intake require this task to be processed
by the Clinical Supervisor however, the actual visit will be rescheduled by Intake.
🔄 Process
Clinicians should only decline visits when they are unable to see a client that has been
assigned to them. Schedule changes for future dates should be communicated with the Staffing
Manager via phone call or Scheduler Notification Note.
From the Patient Related Tasks tab in the Workflow Console:
Select REASSIGN DECLINED VISIT
Select “View Visit Declined Report” :
Review the report:
- Report includes: Scheduled visit date, Service Code, Worker, Declined Reason
Declined Reasons:
- Select “Reschedule Visit”:
NOTE: All declined visits must be reassigned out to a worker as they do not generate a missed visit notification.
Start of Care/Add-On Evals:
If visit was originally scheduled by Intake, alert will prompt user to reassign visit from the Workflow Console:
Select “Stage Completed” and the task will route to Intake to reschedule visit.
Follow up with Intake to ensure visit is rescheduled appropriately.
- If visit was not scheduled by Intake, when Reschedule Visit is selected, the Scheduling Console will display.
- Double click the visit you need to reschedule.
Worker, Visit Date and/or Service Code may be edited from this field:
- Make appropriate edits and Save.
- Close window.
- Close out of Scheduling Console.
Select Stage Completed.
REMINDER: Visits that are sent back as Declined do NOT generate a Missed Visit Notification. Therefore visit must be rescheduled out to worker and then may be marked as missed by the PointCare user if appropriate (and then missed visit process completed). Do NOT select “Don’t Reschedule Visit”.
