Experience at the Clinic:
On my first visit to clinic I have been to private clinic named “Medi Core” . It is primary health care clinic. I was sent to family doctor`s consulting room. There were two persons: Dr Hatuna Gogia and her assistant Maia Bolkvadze. We were sent there to see how this clinic works.
“Medi Core” offers many different types of doctors: family doctor, surgeon, pediatrician, physician, neurologist and etc. It also offers different kind of services: analysis, cardiogram, echoscopy, MRI and so on.
Patient can`t go to “Medi Core” without insurance. At first, he has to take insurance, then go to department of insurance in clinic, there he will be put into list of patients at fixed time and day to visit a doctor. After this he can come to appointment with family doctor who can send you if it is necessary to send to specialist he needs. If family doctor can handle it himself without other type of doctors, he is treating patient and giving him prescription.
In clinic all of the information they are putting to computer data base, where all detailed patient`s history is stored including id number, insurance number, personal features (weight, length…) and some special notes if it is necessary.
If I would be manager of the clinic I would change some details. For example, while listening to patient doctors shouldn’t talk about personal staff, because it sounds strange. Second, I saw one situation when patient came to visit family doctor but he couldn’t get treatment which he needed because there were some problems with insurance database. As a manager I would check his name in the insurance list when he or she makes an appointment with doctor.
The Case:
I have seen three patients while staying in consulting room. One of them was man 35-40 years old, his name was L.G. He came to family doctor, because of high blood pressure/hypertension. First on the visit, doctor asks insurance and checks in database if this person can come
