A very important question! Why did patient volume increase? Patient volume increased because encounter length decreased and this freed up resources to see more patients. So, for example, if your encounter length is 30 minutes, exam rooms and staff are tied up during that time. If you can reduce the encounter to, say, 15 minutes, then you’ve freed up fifteen minutes in which the exam rooms and staff can be used to see another patient. However, then the question becomes why does the encounter length decrease? And the answer is very interesting.
Why Did Patient Volume Increase?
- Because encounter length decreases (freeing resources to see more patients)
- Why does encounter length decrease?
