Cancer follow-up appointments at Hospital 175: Why do so many people miss their appointments? | SAN – Patient Care Application
Military Hospital 175 Patients are required to attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to monitor their progress. However, in reality, many people are unable to maintain this regularly.
The reason isn't subjective, but rather that it's simply too difficult to implement.
A typical follow-up visit includes:
- Travel to the hospital
- Wait
- Perform the necessary checks.
- Get results
For frail patients, this is a major challenge, especially for the elderly or patients who have undergone chemotherapy.
Many families try to hire someone to take them to the follow-up appointment. through groupsRegular price:
300,000 – 400,000 VND/trip
But the problem remains the same as when I went for the check-up:
- Non-professional assistant
- Unfamiliar with the process
- The patient's condition could not be monitored.
In addition, because they often take on multiple jobs throughout the day, therefore:
- Unable to focus entirely on one patient.
- Prone to overloading.
- Lack of initiative
This makes follow-up appointments a tiring experience, discouraging many people from going back.
Meanwhile, SAN designed its cancer follow-up service as follows:
- Having someone to accompany you throughout
- Step-by-step support
- Monitoring the patient's condition
Flexible to meet needs.
More importantly, the support staff work in shifts → ensuring they are always alert and responsible.
Follow-up appointments should not be interrupted simply because of a lack of support staff.
