Evaluating Staffing Needs: How do you know if you need extra help?
Here are some helpful questions to ask to help you determine if using short-term allied staff will benefit your practice and community.
- How many patients do you see a day?
- How long do they wait in the lobby?
- How far in advance do they need to book to see you?
- Do you have time to see a patient that calls in at the last minute?
- How much time do you spend with each patient?
- Do the majority of your patients need to see specialists?
- How and when does your paperwork get filed?
- Do your phones get answered personally or with machines?
- If a professional takes vacation, are you seeing double the patients?
- If a professional calls in sick, what happens to the patients?
- Do you have time to find more staff?
