Though not all indicators are appropriate or can be adopted by all providers on Cape Cod, our goal is that at a minimum providers would put into practice at least one indicator for every standard. Telephone calls requesting services get through and are responded to in a timely basis. 1.1.2 Routine services are provided within 8 weeks of request. Non-urgent routine care for symptomatic conditions is provided within 7 calendar days. Urgent, acute care is provided within 24 hours.
Services are geographically accessible.
1.2.1 Services are located close to public transportation and at times when public transportation is available. Where public transportation isn t available, consumers are asked at first visit about their need for transportation. All consumers indicating a need are assisted in locating alternative transportation. Cab vouchers, prescriptions for transportation, ride-sharing or other alternative means of transportation are available to those consumers in need. Services are open at convenient times.
