Today we’re tackling an important decision for any clinic leader: deciding when to add another clinician to your group. Whether you’re considering adding another physician or an Advanced Practice Provider (APP), this episode will guide you through the various considerations involved. We’ll cover assessing the need for additional clinicians, financial considerations, and the operational impact. We talk about how to assess the need for additional clinicians in your clinic. Understanding whether it’s the right time to expand your team is crucial for maintaining efficient operations and ensuring high-quality patient care.

The initial step is to evaluate patient volume and demand. Are your current clinicians overwhelmed with the number of patients? Are your appointment slots fully booked weeks in advance? High patient wait times and appointment availability are clear indicators that your clinic might benefit from adding another clinician.

Another important factor is analyzing clinician workload and burnout levels. If your current team is consistently working long hours and showing signs of stress and fatigue, it might be time to consider expanding your staff. Ensuring your clinicians have a manageable workload is essential for maintaining high-quality care and job satisfaction.
