Overwhelmed by phone calls? Adding lines, staff not the answer
American Medical News , 06/30/09

Actually, this scenario can lead to just the opposite, as some patients get frustrated by being put on hold or having to redial because they are getting busy signals. Taking a lot of phone calls and spending significant time returning messages also may cut into time for patient care and the services that keep a practice financially afloat.
