What can be learned from this case?

• Carefully plan follow up plans with patients (general suggestion about follow up can be enough)
• Ask patient for family information to help them get involved in the follow up process and help increase compliance.

Consider:

• Giving the specific name of a provider to follow up with
• How to contact the facility,
• See if who you provided/recommended is avaliable to take the patient
• Help patient make the appointment or make it on their behalf (with permission)
