Unleashing the Power of Schedule Stacking

May 24, 2023 | by Brad Bichey

Any Surgeon You Work With Can Win Using Schedule Stacking

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, medical practices face numerous challenges, from limited time and workforce constraints to scarcity of resources. However, there is a game-changing strategy that can revolutionize surgical practices and transform patient outcomes, sales performance, and business relationships: that strategy is schedule stacking.

Discover how this transformative approach can unlock new possibilities for your medical device business and propel the surgical practices you work with to unparalleled success.

Recognize the Need for Change

Are you uncertain about the need to optimize surgical scheduling with the practices you work with? Recognizing that your device orders are sitting and waiting on the schedules of your surgeons is the first step to transformation.

The traditional “first come, first serve” approach to scheduling is no longer effective. We now exist in an era of limited resources and growing demands.

Schedule stacking, a powerful alternative to random strategies, prioritizes high-value patients to more immediate scheduling while placing other patients to times further out on the schedule. This results in improved efficiency, productivity, and reduced practice burnout. By giving the gift of schedule stacking, you can significantly enhance the surgical practices you work with and make a lasting impact on the patients they treat.

Unleashing the Surgeon’s Potential Through Effective Scheduling

Imagine empowering your surgeons with a meticulously optimized schedule—a schedule that enables them to focus on what they do best: performing exceptional surgeries with your innovative procedure. By revolutionizing the scheduling process, you can elevate your impact as a medical device representative, increase sales, and foster stronger, more loyal relationships with the surgeons and staff you work with.

By providing your surgeons with an optimized schedule, you become a more valued business partner. While surgeons may not have the time to oversee scheduling intricacies, you can take the lead in implementing this strategy. Supporting your surgeons with streamlined workflows will not only increase their productivity but also create mutual benefits, such as performing more of your procedures.

Implementation of Schedule Stacking is Straightforward

Manual Schedule Stacking: The manual approach involves educating front staff on the importance of preferentially scheduling sick, high-value patients and communicating the surgeon’s desire to perform more of your specific procedure. This method is effective for busy surgeons with a high patient load but requires frequent re-education of office staff every 2 to 4 weeks. High staff turnover rates in medical offices make this approach challenging to scale efficiently.

Software-Based Solutions: If you value manual schedule stacking but want to scale it effectively, software-based solutions are the answer. These solutions offer significant advantages such as scalability, automation, and data-driven insights. With software, you can understand and optimize the schedules of multiple doctors and practices consistently.

Scalable software eliminates the need for repeated manual re-education and mitigates the impact of staff turnover. Automation streamlines the scheduling process, freeing up valuable time for surgeons and staff to focus on exceptional patient care. Data-driven insights further refine schedule stacking strategies, maximizing success.

The Choice is Yours: Whether you choose a hands-on manual approach or embrace software’s efficiency, schedule stacking has the potential to transform your business and create unprecedented success with the surgeons you work with.
