Have you ever been busy putting out fires in the practice, only to realize all your providers have requested time off for the same week and you’ll have no coverage during that time? It’s a classic planning mishap, and we’ve all been there! Last week, I mentioned that I would have my providers plan their time off for the entire year in advance, and in this episode I’m sharing exactly how you can implement that same system. Not only will this help you avoid future mishaps with scheduling, it will also make you more revenue by making sure you have the coverage you need for your practice.
