Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 24 MAS 584 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Open Hours and Wave Scheduling
Captions available
The idea
With open hours, patients come in without appointments and are seen in order of arrival.
In practice
With wave scheduling, several patients are booked at the start of each hour and seen in order of arrival, which gives flexibility within the hour.
Where people slip
Open hours make time management very hard, so few practices use them except walk-in clinics.
