Backlog Reduction Worksheet

Trustees of Dartmouth College (Batalden, Godfrey, Nelson)
Hanover, New Hampshire, USA

The “backlog” of your practice consists of patients waiting to be scheduled or patients who have been put off into the future. Often in primary care, the list is composed of patients waiting for physicals, new patient visits, or follow-ups. This tool will help you to understand the extent of your backlog.


Directions

Download the file and complete this worksheet for each provider in the practice.
