19040 – Emergencies with NO DOCTOR
Results Statement: To properly handle an emergency with no doctor in the building
in a way that is best for THAT PATIENT, not what is best for us.
Primary Responsible Position: Technician
Overview: Occasionally clients will walk in with emergency cases when we
do not have a doctor in the building. This typically would
happen before 8 AM on weekdays or during lunch hours. This
procedure gives you the exact steps to take in order to get the
patient cared for as soon as possible.
See “Emergencies” procedure for definition and three types of
emergencies. This procedure applies to all three types of
emergencies. In most emergencies it is safe to wait the 10-15
minutes on our doctors while our techs do what the doctors
advise by phone.
