Hello,
For most of my career I have worked in a facility with at least 2 full time
Orthotists. I am now working alone (with 1.5 Technicians), and looking for
your input on how single clinicians schedule their time most efficiently. I
see a wide range of pathologies and patients. On a typical day I will have
2-4 hours set aside for technical time and modifying time (sometimes this
gets filled with a trip to the hospital).the rest of the day I will see
patients, dispense devices, assess, cast, follow up etc., all mixed in
together in one day.
My question is, do you find it more efficient to set aside days solely for
assessments and casting, other days solely for dispensing devices, and other
days for tech/modifying time only?
Just looking for input on what works best for you, and how I might
incorporate this into my practice
