"Since we are a public health
system, with a broader range of
"encounters" than a typical US
health system, the answer to
this question from a US
perspective is not easy to pull
from Cerner. That said, if we
are talking about traditional
outpatient encounters with a
physician, NP, physiotherapist,
or mental health counselor, the
number is approximately
90,000 per year”, Dale Sanders
Unquote
Please advise if we should consider
instead the 39,037 outpatient visits in
the RFP for pricing purposes?
