Miscellaneous

Just a couple of things……

When checking in orders, please make sure you are putting the expiration dates on the invoices.

We will now be utilizing “room 5”.  Please try to communicate that there is a patient in room5.  There is a door hanger along with our heart and kennel cough hanger to put on the door knob of the door going back to inpatient that says “appointment in progress” so everyone knows there is an appointment waiting in there.  There is also a brown box on the shelf by the food that says room 5.  You can put the chart in the box and stick the doctors card in the chart so the doctor knows that appointment is for her.

Please give all lab specimens that you are sending out regular mail to Dr. Putt.  She will take it to the post office to send out. (Not enough stamps have been going on packages and they are getting sent back).

I am ordering microtainer yellow top serum separator tubes from antech.  If you have a small blood sample you can put it in the yellow top tube and a microtainer lavender top tube to send out and still be able to get heartworm test, ghp, t4, total body function, etc.  Green top tubes can only be used for ghp’s and they need to know to run the cbc first.

Technicians: on days you are working outpatient, you need to be ready to work again at 2pm sharp.  You will need to manage your time to make sure you have time to eat and be ready to start appointments again and ready to work at 2.  (Obviously if there is an emergency, etc. that is an exception).  On surgical days, you need to be ready to work in the lab at 4pm.  Jenny: on Thursdays you need to be ready to work with Dr. Rutsey at 4pm in the lab. Sarah: on Mondays, when it’s your day to work inpatient, you need to be in the lab at 4pm to work with Dr. Putt.  Everyone else needs to be floating back and forth, getting things done in inpatient and being able to help/do discharges in outpatient.

A $100 credit will be given to those people who joined us in the Memorial Day Parade this year on your account.  Yay!!

We will be fine tuning/changing/improving just a few things  that we learned about from our AAHA inspection.  Stay tuned for more info on that…….

Thank you to everyone!!!!  All of you are amazing!!!  Keep up the hard work.  It is appreciated!!
