5.10 Missed Visits<br />
To avoid missed visits, the Clinic Coordinator should make every attempt to see<br />
that the patient is scheduled early in the visit window as designated by the<br />
<strong>Coordinating</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, so that, if necessary, the patient can be rescheduled within the<br />
time <strong>of</strong> the visit window.<br />
If any visit is missed the Clinic reschedules the patient for a visit as soon as<br />
possible. If the patient fails to make the appointed visit, the Study Coordinator calls the<br />
patient by telephone every one-half day for two days until the patient is rescheduled; if<br />
this fails, the Study Coordinator contacts the patient by mail. If the patient still does not<br />
respond, the Study Coordinator attempts to contact the patient at least once a week<br />
until contact is made.
