Description du projet: The researcher will examine appointment records for the Orthopaedic Medical Clinic (Stanton Yellowknife Hospital) in order to determine what factors contribute to patients not showing up for their scheduled appointments at the Clinic. The information collected will assist health care facilities in determining why patients do not show up for their appointments (i.e., identify difficulties in travel, costs, etc.) and to improve this aspect of health service.
