We found published literature to be of little help in deciding whether to keep, modify, or replace the current Class I VHA recall reminder software. This is because the published literature has not evaluated the effect of alternatives on a complete set of related system outcomes: no-show rates, backlog, call center waiting time, administrative burden, and patient satisfaction. |
