In the specialist clinic, we often encounter patients who register for the specialist clinic directly without going through the preliminary examination and diagnosis in the general clinic. These patients often receive services similar to those provided in the general outpatient clinic, such as taking medical history and making appointments for relevant examinations, and when the examination results are available, the specialist clinic is already over and they have to wait until the next week’s specialist clinic to receive the relevant services. Another situation is that the preparation before seeing the specialist clinic is not sufficient, the corresponding checklist, imaging films are not able to provide to the specialist, the specialist is difficult to give the corresponding judgment, often wasting a lot of time, so there are often patients complaining that it is difficult to get a specialist clinic number and long waiting period. I often encounter similar situations in the clinic, each time they are instructed to see the specialist clinic skills in the future, today with the help of the platform, to provide some tips to improve the efficiency of the consultation for your reference. Myth No. 1: Specialist clinics are highly efficient. In patients believe that, compared with the general outpatient clinic, the specialist clinic patients are relatively few, receive patients with high seniority, relatively experienced, can solve the problem as soon as possible. In fact, the initial diagnosis of the patient, after the doctor has completed the collection of medical history, the necessary auxiliary examination, such as serological examination, imaging examination, related data collection is completed, in order to get a preliminary conclusion. Nowadays, most tertiary hospitals require appointments for some auxiliary examinations. If you can go through the preliminary treatment by doctors in the general outpatient clinic before the specialist clinic, and then go to the specialist clinic if you think you need further treatment in the specialist clinic, the efficiency of outpatient consultation can be improved. Myth 2: Experts can do anything. Due to the rapid development of modern medicine, especially the development of various specialties is very rapid, requiring a doctor to master the cutting-edge technology of a variety of specialties, is already a luxury. Nowadays, most doctors in specialist clinics have a deeper understanding of the diseases of each organ, so for some complex diseases, multidisciplinary collaboration is often required. Patients who have not been seen by a general outpatient clinic doctor often do not know which specialist’s number to sign up for, so it often takes a lot of time to choose a specialist, and after being seen by a general outpatient clinic doctor, the most suitable specialist is often recommended. In order to minimize the waiting time of patients in the specialist clinic, the author provides the following suggestions: 1. If you have not been seen in other hospitals and have not undergone relevant examinations for the first time, try to make an initial visit to the general clinic and then make an appointment for the corresponding specialist clinic as needed. 2. Cherish every opportunity of specialist outpatient consultation, try to do your homework before the consultation, organize the relevant examination reports and imaging films completely, and record the problems that need to be solved and the questions that exist in a notebook, so as not to forget them during the specialist outpatient consultation. Only on the basis of adequate preparation, you can get efficient and complete services. 3.If a specialist cannot solve the problem, ask the specialist to give advice and organize a multidisciplinary consultation led by that specialist. This reduces the time spent traveling to and from different specialists’ clinics. 4.Use the network function to ask questions to the specialist, make preliminary communication, and then make an appointment with the specialist. You can register and check the results of laboratory tests through the Internet, which can reduce the time spent traveling to and from the hospital. There is relevant app software that can provide a platform for patients and specialists to communicate on smartphones, which can also improve the efficiency of consultation.
