BWH’s Department of Medicine and the BWPO are pleased to announce the release of Phase I of a new patient appointment availability report on its intranet site, http://www.bwh-medicine.org/ Clinical/availability/avail.asp
Any physician within Partners HealthCare can now view an updated list of new patient appointments. While Phase I only includes the services offered by the Department of Medicine, other clinics will soon follow.
Available times are updated throughout the day and available times are color coded for easy identification: green signifying an appointment within two weeks, yellow representing appointments between two weeks to two months, and red identifying available times of more than two months.
Urgent appointments are considered a priority, and the referring physician may call the clinic to request an earlier appointment. Keep in mind that appointments are not available to schedule online, and that this report should serve only as a guideline for a clinic’s availability. The clinics will still confirm availability and may match your preferences with the skills of the physicians, as is the current practice.
This site is only available within the Partners firewall, thus not available to the general public.
Please address questions or suggestions for improvement to Monte D. Brown, MD (mdbrown@partners.org) or Sioux Gilli (sgilli@partners.org).
