Q Fever, Free Amoeba, and Air Conditioning Oral Voriconazole Dose in Children: One Size Does Not Fit All

retrospectively, and the data show that it can effective. All unduplicated patients that were active at any time between January and August 2009 and whose name appeared on the 104 day report were extracted from the EMR. The data elements that were analyzed were (1) what percentage of individuals who were on the 104 day report at one time do not appear on the report again—that is, who made a follow-up appointment and were seen; and (2) of those who still appear on the 104 day report, how many have future appointments or no appointments. The search yielded 3354 of 8418 unduplicated patients on the 104 day reports who were called. Two thousand eighty (62%) of the 3354 patients were not on the 104-day report anymore; thus, they had undergone follow-up with their care providers. One hundred seventy (5.1%) were inactive but were called and declined to retain to care. Seventeen (0.5%) of the patients had died. One thousand eightyseven patients (32%) were still on the 104 day report, but one-third (np331) of these patients had an appointment scheduled for the near future. Given our experience and these findings, having a patient enrolled in the same provider roster and allowing better patient-provider relationship might yield greater retention in care, as would calls from the medical provider to the patient in the event of a missed appointment. Additional prospective studies are urgently needed.
