Space Capacity

Are you using your office space to the maximum capacity to achieve the volume your practice needs? Are you moving your patients smoothly, but quickly to make the best use of your exam rooms? Achieving a smooth flow of patients and increased productivity requires matching capacity with demand including efficient and effective work flow through physician and staff performance. However, facility design, the layout of exam rooms, and number of exam rooms available to providers can also have a positive or negative impact on the patient flow. A space capacity analysis is a method of determining the current patient capacity based on the number of exam rooms, average length of time the patient is in the exam room, the allotted time in a "session", and the average patients seen each session. This is considered the "max" capacity in the current state. Coker Group will work with your practice to evaluate the barriers that currently exist in your practice to hinder smooth patient flow on a daily basis. Barriers can be related to physical space, patients, staff, or physicians. They cause the normal flow of patients to be interrupted and therefore limit the number of patients seen in a given session. Increase your revenue through maximization of your office space.
