Move to next PCMH element - 1B

The practice has a written process and defined standards for providing access to appointments, and regularly assesses its performance on:

1.A.1 Providing same-day appointments for routine and urgent care. (CRITICAL FACTOR)

To show that they provide same day appointments, the practice will need to document their process for using sick call blocks to reserve time for sick patients every day. They also need to produce a report from Partner that shows these blocks in the schedule or shows how much total time was reserved for sick appointments and how much was actually used.

Here are some samples that might be useful:
