Abstract
Master patient scheduling can be a strategic weapon for your organization as it battles the pressures posed by a steadily more demanding marketplace. The enhanced continuity offered by master patient scheduling can unlock the power of self-directed teams and collaboration between your organization and physicians. This power, in turn, can help you continuously improve quality and service levels while keeping operating costs under control. Still, implementing master patient scheduling poses challenges. Those who take on these challenges are convinced that continuity is the secret to their future success.
