Clustering by Type of Visit

The idea
Clustering, also called categorization, groups patients with similar needs into the same block of time.
In practice
A pediatric practice might schedule vaccinations on certain days, or a practice might group all of one kind of procedure into one morning.
Where people slip
Clustering makes efficient use of special equipment and staff, but only if appointment types are labeled correctly.
