Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 24   MAS 587 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Streaming and Fixed Appointments

Captions available

The idea

Some practices book in fixed blocks; others use streaming, matching each slot to the patient's needs.

In practice

One medical assisting text calls fixed scheduling, with the hour divided into set blocks, the most common method; streaming might give a physical an hour and a blood pressure check a quarter hour.

Where people slip

Streaming works only if the scheduler knows how long each service takes.
