Dialysis Clinic Operations: Chair Schedules, Staffing Ratios, Supplies & Cost per Treatment
Roll the patient census forward, fill MWF and TTS chair slots, staff every shift to ratio, set supply reorder points, cost one treatment, weigh the payer mix, flag missed sessions and decide between a 4th shift and more chairs – in a fictional clinic, every cell checked. Operations math only, not clinical advice.

About this course
A dialysis clinic operations course that runs the outpatient unit of one fictional clinic in a spreadsheet, for clinic and facility managers, nurse managers, healthcare operations analysts, consultants and health administration students. You roll the patient census forward and compare delivered with scheduled treatments at three sessions a week, measure the utilization of MWF and TTS chair slots, staff every shift to patient-per-nurse and patient-per-technician ratios and flag short slots, set supply reorder points with safety stock, build the cost per treatment from labour, supplies and overhead with a break-even volume, turn the payer mix and collection rates into revenue per treatment, flag missed and shortened treatments with a formula rule, and decide between a fourth shift and more chairs. Fictional clinic, illustrative figures. Operations math only, not clinical or medical advice. The first lab is free.
