The Engineered Practice

A five-stage method that turns a practice's patient flow into a system that keeps improving. Every engagement starts with a map and ends with a dashboard.

Where it comes from

Engineers improve processes with a cycle called DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control. It is how factories cut defects and hospitals cut waiting times. The Engineered Practice applies the same thinking to the path a patient takes from first click to month six.

MAP

Every step a patient takes, every tool behind it, and the numbers at each step. Most leaks become obvious once the flow is on one page.
