How to Dismiss a Patient
From time to time, circumstances arise which make it difficult, and even impracticable, for a health care provider to continue to render effective treatment to certain patients. Legitimate reasons can range from the need to refer to a specialist, physician retirement, moving, development of an inappropriate emotional attachment, non-compliance and missed appointments, to threatening or overly demanding behavior.

That enormous difference is a clear indicator that more and more companies will get on board and start using mobile devices for work. An important step to take before allowing employees to use their smart phones for work, or supplying them with company phones, is to create a Mobile Device Policy.
