2 What s On Your Mind? True or False What did you think when you received the invitation to this meeting? What is the biggest challenge your practice faces regarding the issue of patient wait time? Wait times are the most destructive patient complaint. What do you hope to learn from this session? TRUE Patient Flow Is very complex Is a constant challenge Changes constantly Flow and Efficiency Red Flags But it can be optimized if approached analytically. Top 10 Signs You May Have a Problem! Top 10 Signs of Flow Efficiency Problems Top 10 Signs of Flow Efficiency Problems Patients, technicians or physicians consistently arrive late. There does not seem to be enough exam lanes Tasks and skills are not aligned. Techs spend more than 20 minutes for comprehensive work ups s are frequently interrupted while seeing patients. Exam lanes are not properly equipped or ready Practice does not use a Writer or Scribe. Check-In and Check-Out areas are congested during peak hours. 5. Patients and clinical staff walk long distances to the preliminary exam area. 10. s escort patients to Check-Out area. 2
3 Considerations to Maximize Physical Space Exam Spaces Needed Do you have enough exam rooms? # of s # of Techs Minimum Spaces Needed Reconfigure exam room size. I Use pre-test areas and/or hallway. II Configure a quick check room. III Use flag or lighting systems. Reduce wasted steps.

Appointments: Time spent per exam: At end of 1 st hour: At end of 2 nd hour: 10 patients per hour Average 10 minutes 6 exams done; 4 waiting 12 exams done; 8 waiting So what s the problem? Time Tracking Sheet: Use this tool to determine the average length of each type of exam: 100 short exams in 400 minutes = 4 minutes/exam 60 medium exams in 480 minutes = 8 minutes/exam 40 long exams: in 480 minutes = 12 minutes/exam Appointment Tracking Sheet/Appointment Schedule: Use this tool to determine the percentages of each type of exam: Example: 50% short, 30% medium, 20% long 4

Cataract Surgery Benchmark 1 to 3 Weeks The practice experiences peaks and valleys in patient flow during the day. Patients are squeezed in or overbooked. s and staff routinely finish late. Patients complain about long wait times. Staff stress levels, or turnover rates, are high. Refractive Surgery Other Surgery 7 to 10 days 10 days Source: BSM Consulting Assessment of the Current Template Templates Does person creating master template understand the time constraints? Are patients being scheduled in the wrong slots because the scheduling staff is not aware of scheduling protocols or do they ignore them? Are new patients scheduled back-to-back? Does the number of scheduled patients vary from hour-tohour? Does the practice overbook patients instead of leaving open slots available for referral and emergency patients? Proportional Traditional approach based on tech workup. Each appointment is allotted the same amount of time. Wave Schedule multiple patients in the same time slot. First come, first served. Clinic Patients assigned time blocks by type. How are tests scheduled?

Conduct a time study. Develop a rational appointment schedule based on the time the doctor needs to see the patients, considering only 60 minutes per hour. Provide techs with tools to achieve benchmarks. This is the most significant change to medicine that affects patient flow processes Schedule adjustments, reduction Staff training on basic computer skills - not just EMR functionality Website/web portal: Accessibility of forms Placement of equipment and review stations Documentation: Use of a Scribe Printing glass prescription and Patient Education Material (e-rx, glass Rx to optical) 7
8 Propose Changes: a.k.a PILOT Your Practice is Different New appointment schedule Delegation of tasks between doctor and techs Number of techs, rooms, equipment, etc. FIRST Standardize as much as you can in the office (forms, chart organization, basic flow, etc.) NEXT Customize to each doctor s preferences and characteristics. How special tests are done Educate doctors and staff of proposed changes It s hard to exceed 80% of theoretical maximum Many factors affect the exam times: Size and layout of office Tech productivity preferences and characteristics Keep in Mind Summary You will need to keep an eye on the new template changes will be imminent. Use of scribes and/or techs will affect scheduling. This is a work in process. Different for each practice. At times there will be a need to override the schedule. Review, and if necessary, adjust your current scheduling template. Remember The goal of an ophthalmology practice should be to provide high quality, professional care, in the most efficient manner possible. It is 6-10 times more expensive to find a new patient than it is to keep an existing one. Objectives Revisited Questions?
