Practice Page: Improving Patient Flow

From the College | December 1, 2010

Two techniques you can use to improve patient flow are flow mapping and cycle-time measurement. Flow mapping requires practice staff to walk through the practice and take notes about what a patient experiences during a visit. This allows you to understand the flow from the patient’s point of view. Key things to record are experiences and impressions of the practice from start to finish, such as observations of customer service, right down to the paperwork and equipment used.
