Some big changes in the coming months. First we’re switching to an EMR. After that, there’s the increasing pressure by management to see more patients – not to mention having our compensation structure more directly correlate with our productivity RVUs. I’m thinking of changing my schedule structure – currently it’s the standard 15-minute blocks with 30-minute physicals. Many advocate the modified-wave structure. Looks good on paper. The other option I’m looking at is switching over to a 10-minute increment schedule (i.e. 10-minute appointments, 20-minute physicals – with blocked, 10-minute catch-up time hourly). Any thoughts?
