This is a placeholder stub for a clinical-efficiency article to be written by a practicing hem/onc attending.

Suggested outline

1. The new-vs-follow-up mix that works in year one

   • Typical academic ratios (e.g. 4 new / 12 follow-up for a full clinic day)
   • Community group ratios (often heavier on follow-up)
   • What to negotiate in month one before your first template is locked

2. Buffer time — where and how much

   • The lunch-hour buffer that saves your afternoon
   • Post-new-patient buffer for note-completion in real time
   • End-of-day buffer for phone calls and prescription refills

3. When to fight for a template change

   • Signs your current template isn't working (chart-closing time > 90 min post-clinic)
   • How to bring data to your scheduler / practice manager
   • Common tradeoffs and what to concede

4. Half-day vs full-day patterns

   • Half-day AM + admin PM, vs alternating full days
   • Tumor board integration
   • Research / academic time preservation

5. Locum-specific scheduling considerations

   • Working someone else's template
   • What to ask before you accept an assignment

What we need from a contributing author

• 1000–1500 words
• Named attribution with credentials + years attending
• At least one worked example template
• Adaptable across academic / community / private practice contexts
