Outpatient Department

Why is teamwork important?

Teamwork is especially important in the outpatient unit in order to provide patients with a high quality service. It is very important that quality services would be guaranteed at all levels - during registering, the consultation of the doctor or during preparation of the patient for further treatment. It is equally important that the doctors’ team would discuss treatment tactics.
