041013 - business days, and enable delivering the CD to Doctor Rugo at UCSF on
041014 - Friday on 090612 OA 1500, rather than waiting the following Wedensday,
041015 - proposed in the Radiology Customer Check In Department. While meeting
041016 - with Ricardo, he called the File Department and explained the customer
041017 - needs expedited work. Ricardo confirmed that the File Department
041018 - commits today to providing save day service for the CD. He said
041019 - Millie can go have lunch after the test at 1120, and return in an hour
041020 - or so, and the CD will be ready for pickup at the Radiology Check-in
041021 - Counter next to the elevators, here in the basement.
041023 - ..
041024 - Richardo checked Kaiser's computer. He said there is nothing that
041025 - shows Kaiser will produce a report that consolidates all findings,
041026 - rather than issue multiple reports for a single test, as done
041027 - previously in error, causing confusion and medical mistakes.
041029 - ..
041030 - Richardo checked Kaiser's computer. He said Loretta did not schedule
041031 - an IS nurse to support Millie's test. There is nothing in Kaiser's
041032 - computer showing this is scheduled. Ricardo will investigate and try
041033 - to get this scheduled in time for the test on 090612 1120.
041035 - ..
041036 - Thanked Ricard for assistance.
