Access to
Resources
Georgetown Physician Access puts you in
direct contact with Georgetown University Hospital resources. The registered
nurses can connect you with a faculty member you identify for consultations and
referrals. Or they can assist you in selecting an appropriate specialist. If you
wish, the Physician Access nurses can contact the specialist for a telephone
consultation or take a message and ensure the faculty physician returns your
call.
Appointment Scheduling
The referral nurse counselor can schedule
appointments for your patients with the specialist you select. The nurse will
request the name, date of birth, and telephone number of the patient and a brief
description of the reason for referral. The nurse will arrange the appointment
(within the requested time frame), call the patient to confirm the appointment,
send out a letter confirming the appointment with maps and other information as
appropriate and notify your office when the arrangements are complete.
The nurse counselors will answer questions you and your patients have about special Georgetown services and programs or refer you to Georgetown staff who can provide the information you need. You also can have access to the Lombardi CancerLine certified oncology nurse.
