Question about making dr apts for residents

Hello!!

I have a question for LTC nurses. Ok, lets say a new admit comes in on second shift. On the transfer paper is says for the patiend is to follow up with Dr whoever. Now you are unable to do this at this time, because its late in the day and you need to let the nurses on the following days to know this. Right now what we basically do is write down on a piece of paper the info and tape it to the Nursing desk. So if the nurse is sitting at the desk its right infront of her. And this way all shifts see it. Anyways. management top priority is tape on the desk and says that is not allowed, and will take down note, and they get lost, apts don't get made, etc. And of course management does not listen, all they care about is the tape on the desk. What are other systems for doing this? Our unit manager has had some ideas, but knocks down ideas that will cost anything "not in the budget" .


thanks!!
