Practice Management:
We have updated our TIME OFF FORM (CLICK HERE) to include calculating client hours missed. As a practice, our time is our inventory, meaning it is what we provide to the clients we serve. Like any organization, we need to track our resources, and our time is one of those resources. It enables us to plan as a practice if we are able to see how much clinician time is going to be available in a given month.
So, when you take time off, what you will do is calculate how many of the hours you normally keep available for clients you will be missing. For example, if you normally have 32 hours on your schedule to see clients but will be missing a few days and keeping 10 hours of client availability that week, then you would enter 22 hours as the number of client hours missed.
Please be sure to click the link above to view the new form and copy it to your HR file, deleting the old time off form.
