The Floor Plan is Key to Productivity: Floor Plan Analysis to Ensure Great Results by Dr. Mark Tholen
About This Event
Certain dental specialties have very different design requirements compared to the needs of a general practice. Oral surgery, orthodontic, pediatric, prosthodontic, and sleep apnea practices need offices that have different patient flow configurations and different room configurations that minimize repetitive movement.
In this program, we will examine the essential elements to each of these specialty floor plans that result in optimal productivity and minimal physical staff stress.
Being able to assess whether a proposed floor plan is right for your practice is critical to your future success because the floor plan is key in being able to optimize productivity and minimize stress. The floor plan that works for you will incorporate all the principles of design which we will review in this section. Put your brain in gear and let’s diagnose your proposed floor plan!
