NO NONO NO

2. Call the patient and ask them to come in?

YES YES

Who makes the call? Usually the Nurse calls and asks them to come in.

(i.e. when the nurse calls and says, come in to talk about the results > this afternoon, the patient pretty much knows things aren't good).

Usually call and tell them if everything is "OK"

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.
