When you go to a baseball game, do you ever notice the empty seats? That’s missed money for the stadium. And guess what: the same goes for your practice.
Your exam chairs are like seats in a baseball stadium. Empty chairs equal lost revenue. A baseball team can’t sell yesterday’s seats, and neither can you.
You can’t reclaim today’s losses, but you can fill tomorrow’s seats. To keep chairs full every day, your team needs a capacity tracker.
Capacity trackers reveal how full (or empty) your schedule is. They help you identify hidden trends, like which days are under booked, and they show you where to add patients. If you don’t know how to make one, don’t worry. We have a capacity tracker in the Best Practices Association!
One more thing before you go. If you’re trying to fill empty chairs, you’ll want to hear this illuminating conversation between Kirk Behrendt and Dr. Barrett Straub. These two will help you turn your practice into a sold-out stadium!
