What would your practice do differently if you knew what the future would bring? Would you adjust staffing levels or fine-tune scheduling to prevent lost revenue and improve patient access? Unlike many industries, healthcare providers can use today’s data to know what tomorrow, next week, and next month will look like. Are your patients and providers being scheduled optimally? Are there unfilled appointment slots that are hurting patient access, provider compensation, and practice profitability? Are follow-up patients scheduled in new patient slots, thereby hurting next month’s surgical procedure revenues? Can you catch problems before patients arrive, preventing wasted appointment slots on patients that cannot be seen? Will no-shows be higher tomorrow? When is the best time to double-book appointments? What should your practice management system be telling you to see around corners and make your organization more efficient? Join an interactive session focusing specifically on using real-world appointment data to drive operational efficiencies in your practice. Walk away with actionable insights to increase profitability, improve patient access, and enhance provider satisfaction.
Learning Objectives:
Describe innovative data analysis techniques that reveal hidden patterns and drive efficiencies in staffing, scheduling, and patient access
Use appointment data to optimize scheduling for better patient flow and provider productivity
