Advice for the Scheduling Coordinator ­– Designate an overflow chair. For offices with enough space, the overflow chair provides an opportunity to schedule at approximately 50% the capacity of other chairs. Use the overflow chair for emergencies, post-ops, late patients, etc. It creates a level of flexibility that allows the practice to operate more efficiently.
