Who
Scheduling Lead
When
Before the next meaningful opening
How much
Each meaningful opening is filled, intentionally protected, or documented as unrecoverable before the opening window.
What should I do next?
Open Recover, work the earliest doctor-weighted opening first, and only skip after documenting why it cannot be recovered.
What happened
6 meaningful opening(s) represent 2520 open minutes. Doctor gaps use a 1 weight and hygiene gaps use 0.55.
Likely cause
Likely contributor: appointment blocks create meaningful open chair time. Intentional block classification still requires review before treating every gap as recoverable.
Current
2520 open min
Target
30 min minimum opening / 88% utilization
Variance
6 opening(s)
