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
| Opportunity | This provider | Expectation | Additional 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 |
| Together | Additional 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.
