Kate,
Thank you for the data analysis. I’ve shared it with the medical group and want you to be aware they have concerns with the number of exam rooms being discussed. While they understand the goal is to increase efficiency and decrease space requirements, they feel limiting rooms would reduce productivity.
They currently use a model allowing each provider one office, and three exam rooms.
Sincerely,

Brian,
Thanks for your note. When I did the initial analysis, it showed an ability to decrease square footage costs by load leveling rooms. Each provider will still be able to utilize three exam rooms, but they would be shared spaces and driven by schedules. The savings would be more than 2.3 million dollars based on the current number of providers and process. Once the future state work is complete, we’ll know better the time and resources, including exam space, required for each patient encounter.
Thank you for making me aware.
Kate,
