All our patients are required by our government grant to come in on an annual basis for what they call a comprehensive clinic appointment. And at that appointment, they meet with all the various disciplines: physicians, nurses, social work, physical therapy, and pharmacy. We have a huddle room where we go to and share what we learn when each of us visit that patient during that appointment. And that appointment is a long one, it’s about a 3-hour long appointment. But it provides valuable information to what’s going on with that patient that day.
