UNC handles continuous care patients much like Kjersta's school - the students are mainly responsible for tracking their own patients. The students have a clinic ID, like the students here, and can use that ID to track everything from how many Class Is, IIs and IIIs they have had to how many broken appointments to how many pedo patients, etc. The computer program is linked to the faculty comments, as well as to the front desk. For a patient assigned to the student - the student can access his/her address, phone #, email, etc. When it comes time for the student to graduate, the student follows up with his/her patients - and the student's patient list is passed to the in coming class of students (except for patients needing for in depth care - those patients are taken over by an upcoming 2nd year student). The patient care coordinator for the students helps with patients who have "disappeared", as well as the front desk.
