Title: number of patients to be actually treated in one ortho's office
Post by: Ingo on 27. November 2007, 19:28:05 PM

Does anyone know, what is the number of patients to be actually treated in one ortho's office in about? Of course there are discrepancies. An approximate number for the magnitude would be interesting, too. Might there be 100, 500 or 1000?

My records list me as account number 006160. I have no idea what number they used for the first account however.

I think a normal office would have about 500.

(Calculated with the assumption that a patient has to come back every 4 weeks and an ortho has 4 patients an hour)

my ortho had 4 patients at the same time... so based on your thesis she had 16 per hour...

but I must confess, there were two doctors...

My ortho runs a solo practise.  He sees about 40 people a day, five days a week, which is about 200 a week.  There's mostly six weeks between appointments ... so he could have over 1,000 current patients, at any time.

Quite amazing that an ortho is seeing 1000 patients at the same time and still remebers what the progress of eacht individual is...
