A group practice with three GPs. In Flanders that is the smallest group practice.
Almost six in ten GPs work in a group.
What happens per doctor counts three times. The daily till counts once.
Frequencies and times are our own cautious assumptions.
A Brussels survey measures 12 to 15 hours per doctor a month. That is non-medical work. Our estimate comes to just over 5 hours per doctor.
What runs by itself
- An appointment confirms itself, with a reminder.
- Your home visits are in the right order.
- You enter details only once.
- Hours and mileage add themselves up.
- Routine phone questions get answered faster.
