Productivity

In a home-based primary care practice (HBPC), many factors determine optimal productivity and panel size standards (i.e., the number of individual patients under the care of a specific provider). These include payment structure, practice model, outcome goals, geography/travel times, and more. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, the following insights from data collected from HCCI’s national network may be useful when determining HBPC productivity and panel size standards.
