Standardized Clinical Scheduling infoStarting in January, our clinics will begin moving to a standardized scheduling model to improve patient care and safety, strengthen teamwork, and create more predictable routines for staff. The new model sets consistent shift times and patient schedules across clinics, with staff working in pods for better collaboration. This change reflects months of work by a project team that included DTs, nurses, and others from across NKC. It addresses feedback from staff surveys, including the desire for steadier schedules and uninterrupted breaks. It also aims to reduce the need for overtime or low census and lower our costs per treatment – ensuring we can continue providing high-quality care for all our patients. We’ll roll out the new model in three phases, beginning with the Kent, Kirkland, and SeaTac clinics. That allows the team to fine-tune the process before expanding to other clinics. All clinics will use the new schedule by May. More info:
