I
agree
with
another
poster
that
I
cannot
complain
about
the
doctors
or
any
of
the
radiology
techs
at
Mount
Sinai
BH.
If
anything,
they
are
the
reason
I've
supported
this
facility
for
so
long.
However,
the
administrative
processes
are
ridiculously
cumbersome.
And
to
be
clear,
I'm
also
not
blaming
any
of
the
receptionists
who
are
only
doing
their
jobs
and
not
responsible
for
making
system-wide
administrative
or
operations-based
changes.
That
said,
I
had
a
screening
mammogram
at
this
facility
back
on
August
10th.
I
received
a
letter
shortly
thereafter
stating
that
they
saw
something
and
that
additional
research
was
needed.
The
letter
instructed
me
to
call
and
make
an
appointment.
When
I
called
I
was
told
that
my
doctor's
office
had
already
been
notified
of
the
outcome,
and
asked
to
provide
a
referral
from
my
ob/gyn.
I
suppose
I
should
have
realized
a
referral
was
necessary,
but
I
was
simply
following
the
prompt
in
the
letter,
which
did
not
include
any
reference
to
a
referral.
I
called
my
doctor
and
was
informed
that
they
were
never
notified
of
the
outcome
of
my
mammogram
and
that
Mount
Sinai
BH
had
never
sent
them
the
report
that
would
support
the
need
for
additional
research
(*note
-
they
could
not
provide
a
referral
without
this
report).
So
I
called
Mount
Sinai
back
and
they
said
the
reason
they
hadn't
sent
it
was
because
I
hadn't
filled
out
a
HIPAA
form
granting
them
the
permission
to
do
so.
Again,
reasonable,
but
NO
ONE
ever
told
me
this
was
necessary.
I
was
told
my
doctor's
office
knew
what
they
needed
to
know
to
grant
a
referral.
So
I
filled
out
the
HIPAA
form
and
sent
it
to
BH.
No
one
followed
up
with
me
to
confirm
receipt
of
the
referral
(even
though
I
requested
it)
so
I
called
yesterday,
only
to
learn
that
their
system
was
down
and
they
couldn't
complete
the
appointment
request.
I
was
told
that
someone
would
call
me
back
when
the
system
was
back
up
to
finish
scheduling.
They
didn't,
so
I
called
today,
only
to
find
out
that
they
aren't
able
to
fit
me
in
until
October
3rd,
and
that
even
then,
they
can
only
fulfill
half
of
my
doctor's
referral
request
(Screening
sonogram).
The
other
half
(diagnostic
sonogram),
would
have
to
be
filled
elsewhere.
Every
year,
I
am
sent
on
a
similar
wild
goose
chase.
I
changed
doctors
recently,
and
my
old
doctor's
office
experienced
very
similar
issues
with
this
facility.
My
doctor
and
I
would
both
have
to
jump
through
hoops
every
year
to
get
the
results
from
my
annual
screening.
As
a
result
of
all
this,
I've
decided
this
will
be
my
last
appointment
with
this
facility.
That
said,
if
anyone
from
Mount
Sinai
BH
cares
AT
ALL
about
improving
your
customer
facing
processes,
this
is
what
I
want
you
to
know
-
breast
health
or
the
possibility
of
a
lack
thereof
-
can
be
a
very
scary
thing.
The
women
you
are
dealing
with
following
the
news
that
they
didn't
have
a
perfect
annual
scan
are
in
a
very
fragile
state.
Please
do
your
best
to
audit
every
aspect
of
your
customers'
experience
with
your
facility
and
to
use
that
data
to
improve
your
processes,
because
you
are
creating
an
inordinate
amount
of
unnecessary
stress
for
your
patients,
during
what
is
already
an
extremely
stressful
time.
Your
patients
deserve
better
-
I
hope
you
agree.
