Provider Productivity — Patients per Hour by Clinician
Patients per Hour by Provider — September 2026  ·  Goal: ≥1.85 pt/hr
⬛ ≥1.88 pt/hr (⭐)  ·  🔷 <1.88 pt/hr  ·  Sorted highest → lowest  ·  Dashed = dept cohort avg (1.89 pt/hr)
📊 Dept Cohort Avg: 1.89 pt/hr  ·  ⭐ = ≥1.88 pt/hr
† September individual Pt/Hr is computed directly from Excel encounter volume ÷ provider work hours (scheduling system work-hour report). Providers with very low monthly hours (single shifts) will show wider swings in either direction. One APC listed on the September APC schedule did not work at BGMC this month; those hours are excluded from both the individual chart and the department Pt/Hr and aPPH totals. Individual counts include 14 downtime encounters not captured in the Excel extract, credited to the treating physician.
