5.3 Scheduling
All scheduling of visits is performed by the Participating Clinic. Each visit after
the Baseline Visit is scheduled one month ahead. The Clinic Coordinator telephones the
patient to remind him/her of his/her appointment day and time one week before the
appointment and then again one day before the appointment.
5.4 Baseline Examination
After evaluating eligibility and obtaining informed consent, the patient is
requested to complete the Patient Background Form, the Quality of Life Form, and the
Patient History Form. The Clinician and other Clinic personnel (as certified per Chapter
12 of this Operations Manual) complete the Examination Form.
