Panel Capacity Diagnostic

Find out which panels have room today and how to build capacity without recruiting more providers or burning out your clinicians. No EMR integration or IT project.

Know how much room you have for new patients

PanelWise helps you quantify how many visits your established patients need and how many visits you have available, so you can plan new patient capacity.

  • Visits availableBased on clinical FTE, productivity and template utilization.
  • Visits established patients needFrom how often providers see their patients.
  • New patient capacityThe amount of capacity available for new patients.

Build capacity without recruiting

The Diagnostic shows how much capacity you have and how you can build it sustainably, without burning out clinicians.

One provider’s panel opportunity report

OpportunityThis providerExpectationAdditional patients
Clinic hoursDetermine whether patient-facing hours per provider each week match the FTE in their contract. 31.5 hours a week 34 expected (1.0 FTE) +70
Template useHow many slots are kept, never filled, no-showed, or cancelled and not refilled. 74% of slots filled 85% group average +120
Visits per dayVisits per clinic day against the group standard. Counted after clinic hours and template use, so nothing is counted twice. 12.4 visits a day 16 group standard +120
Visits per patient per yearHow often providers are seeing patients each year, and whether there are opportunities to shift visits to care team members. 2.9 visits per patient 2.2 age-adjusted expected +340
TogetherAdditional patients this provider could manage+650

Illustrative example for one 1.0 FTE provider. Assumes 46 clinic weeks a year and an 8-hour clinic day. Each opportunity is applied in turn, so the additions don’t overlap. Rounded to the nearest 10.

Want to check the math? How PanelWise calculates capacity

The sample Diagnostic

A complete PanelWise Diagnostic for Northwoods Community Health, a fictional four-clinic health center built from a de-identified dataset. Here is what it covers.

  • The opportunity

    How many more patients the current providers could support, by clinic, with new patient wait times.

  • Capacity

    Each provider’s panel against their capacity, and where the pressure sits by clinic and by zip code.

  • Unused capacity

    Clinic hours, template use and kept appointments: how much more the current schedule can deliver, and how the organization compares nationally.

  • Access

    New patient wait by clinic and provider, and what happens to new patient bookings while patients wait.

  • Panel health

    Continuity, new provider ramp-up, and who the panels serve.

  • Recommendations

    What to do first, and how the numbers stay live after the report.
