schedule arrangement

[Guest guest]

The original clinic schedule was based on 1 hr appts. We have since changed

to a 45 minute based schedule. There continue to be 15-30 minute slots

that are not schedulable. Also when we need to schedule a meeting (journal

club/in-service/staff mtg), there is significant schedule rearranging so

that everyone's times overlap.

I would like to change all appts, breaks and meetings to 45 minutes

throughout the day, although the staff will not be happy with having a 45

rather than 60 minute lunch. (all are on salary except for one, however 15

minutes of the 45 minutes per day paid documentation time would be

considered a break - 15+30 documentation = 45 minute slot).

Please share how you have solved this problem in outpatient therapy

settings.

Thanks,
