11:14
And so we were triaging those just based on the referral that came in.
11:19
And so what we started doing was those kids that were initially being triaged onto sort of like that standard waitlist, We were triaging them into a telehealth-only appointment.
11:32
So urgent cases were just getting put on their quick wait list.
11:35
Priority cases were just getting put on a wait list, presuming that they were going to need testing just because of the medical risk.
11:43
And then rather than kind of making these kids wait a year and a half to two years to even have any contact with a neuropsychologist, putting them on a telehealth-only appointment list for telehealth only and we were getting to that to them in about a month for the time of referral so okay even though for those that ended up going on the wait list after that which was about three quarters of them ended up going on the wait list hmm So one quarter didn't, we kind of deemed like, I don't know that testing is going to be the most helpful thing for you.
