The individual had an appointment at the correct time but the doctors office called to cancel as the doctor was out of town. The earliest appointment they could see the individual on was 9/12/22. Staff did not obtain documentation from the doctors office stating that they canceled and the date was the soonest appointment they could do.

We have been attempting to obtain a note from the doctors office explaining as such, but no luck to date. While we weren't the cause no 3-month appointment, the Appointment Tracking form we have initiated will help that kind of situation also.
