* We have a daily schedule, with wiggle room
* We book reasonable and realistic times for our patients
* We don't overbook
* This allows us the latitude to take "on demand" patients
* This also insures that our patient's are not overbooked, and waiting
hours
* It also guarantees, that if we have no shows, that technically, we
have a "hole" in our schedule
* But, something ALWAYS fills the hole, we are never doing nothing
* We are always doing something, without chaos...
Financially, this is not a good model. We are blessed that our hospital
heavily subsidizes and supports our efforts without applying the lash...

We do have some patients that are scheduled for their images, especially if
they are from one of our outlying satellite clinics and they need Optos
imaging, but the majority of ours are done on an "as they are seen basis".
Thanks,

I was wondering how many imaging clinics "schedule" a patient's imaging. Here
we take all clinic patients as they are seen.
