Rafael- This is a pretty high no-show rate. I would be concerned about things like poor communication skills by your scheduling staff, difficulty finding the practice, or a practice location that makes it inconvenient to visit. Of course, it could just be that you live in an area where no-shows for many services (haircuts, etc) are common. However, if nearby gynecologists do not report the same no-show rate, it might be something unique to your practice. Good luck,

Ashley

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
