Does the 15 minute vs 10 minute split affect income for the individuals?
Here:
We book at 15 minutes for 6.5 hours a day - but see walk-ins and go to
emerg on top top.
Some days I drive for 4-5 hours and see up to 40 patients - but not
infrequently, only 20 - there are no appointments on those days
(actually, now often I get to do this by helicopter which helps
considerably).
We don't have QOF, or a complaints procedure, or appraisals, or
re-validation, or audit (other than our billing can be audited), or any
reporting to anyone.
We don't have home visits.
Just different and just an unscientific observation, docs _seem_ happier
here.
Cheers
