Block Scheduling and Scheduling Type A appts at 70%
I have a question and was a bit confused on the training. In the Scheduling course, Laura talks about doing block scheduling and also talks about scheduling Primary appointments first and when we have 70%, then she will let the secondary and tertiary appointments get scheduled in her office. I like this idea and understand the concept of big rocks first. However, if we are doing block scheduling, does it really matter? We use block scheduling where we see our Primary appointments in the first part of the day. If we know we have a secondary or tertiary appointment that would go in the later part of the day, couldn’t we schedule them even if all of our primary appointment blocks aren’t scheduled? I hope I’m making sense. I feel like this is a better question asked in person vs written. 🙂

Thanks Christy! If you are following the block scheduling protocol, yes, you can schedule the “less productive” appointments in the appropriate places. We have found it can be difficult for teams to understand the WHY behind block scheduling so Laura provides different strategies for handling this, depending on the scenario. If your team is adhering to block scheduling rules and your production is being met, you can fill up the schedule as you see fit. I hope this helps!
