Below are highlights from the Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) meeting held on Tuesday, June 14, 2016:
Patient Friendly Access (PFA)
- PFA is an initiative to make it easy for patients to schedule one or more outpatient visits on the same day. The goal is to develop a welcoming, efficient, and effective patient and referring provider access experience for outpatient clinical care.
- Dean David Wilkes apologized for not communicating to faculty better about this initiative and for not getting faculty involved from the beginning.
- The Deans Office has heard that there are concerns, and therefore is now taking time to get faculty feedback and input.
