title: The facility's role in office economics: the bottom line.
abstract: The object of medical practice is to deliver services in a timely manner. To prosper in the current environment, clinicians must stress productivity and efficiency. This article discusses the impact of office space configuration on these factors. Not only is profitability increased, satisfaction improves as providers can spend more face-to-face time with patients, and waits are reduced.
