In this chapter, we explore Advanced Access—a scheduling philosophy that balances supply and demand to ensure patients can see their provider when they need to. Drawing from real-world experience and foundational principles, this chapter walks you through the practical steps to assess your current state, reduce backlog, optimize supply, and manage demand. Along the way, you’ll learn how improved scheduling leads to happier patients, more satisfied staff, and a healthier work-life balance for clinicians. Advanced Access isn’t just about better schedules—it’s about better care, delivered more efficiently and more effectively.
