The patient is likely to be the most cooperative in furnishing details necessary for a complete registration process

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients are more likely to be cooperative and focused before any services are provided, as they have not yet received treatment or feedback that may influence their engagement with the registration process. It is important to encourage patients to provide all necessary details during this initial stage to ensure efficient and accurate billing and record keeping. Gathering information after services are provided, when the patient may be tired, stressed or distracted, or when there are potential disruptions, can result in errors or omissions that can create problems later on. The time of the first statement or a follow-up telephone call may also be less effective than the initial registration process for capturing all relevant information in a timely and complete manner.
