How to Staff a Clinic Source-Â https://ascendnational.com/clinical-staffing-tips/


There’s no exact formula one can follow when it comes to staffing a medical practice, clinic, hospital, etc.


THE BASICS For now, disregard those who will help with billing, lab work, management, etc. Let’s focus on the simplest roles: whoever helps the patient from the moment they walk through the door until the moment they walk out.


MORE PHYSICIANS? With more than one physician on board, you will need to ensure all your tracks are covered.


Front desk When the number of providers begins to increase, so will the number of patients coming in for a visit.

Dedicated phone staff If you have a busy office, you don’t want to leave the patients directly in front of you on hold, too.


Nurse triage Clinical assistants might be too busy to answer the phones in between patients.Â

Laboratory Not all clinics need a laboratory or an extensive laboratory.
