               Results Statement:           To assure good client service by making sure we have clients booked
                                            that will show-up as scheduled.  We assure great patient care by re-
                                            booking pets for services they need.  We additional have arrangements
                                            for clients who have repeatedly “no-showed” in a way that is courteous
                                            and best for both that client and the hospital.





               Primary Responsible Position:  Receptionist


               Why:                         Clients that “no-show” have taken up space that other clients could
                                            have used.   We had staff waiting to help them.

                                            We recognize this is can easily happen to anyone.  We do not blame or
                                            charge an extra fee…BUT we have special arrangements for those
                                            clients that repeatedly no-show, especially for grooming and surgery.

               WHEN this applies:

                                              All No-Shows – client gets a call 10 minutes after scheduled
                                                appointment to reschedule.
                                              ONE no-show for surgery – special arrangements (see below)
                                              TWO no-shows for grooming – special arrangements (see below)

               WHAT this applies to:        Surgery and grooming appointments ONLY.

                                            For all OTHER appointment types:  Doctors, execs, and managers use
                                            good judgment to determine if this procedure applies.
