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.
