Where does the consult hour actually go?
Consult Tempo applies the OR Tempo playbook to patient flow — from Arrival and Chart Ready, through In Room, Ready for Doctor, Doctor in Room, and Doctor Complete, to Coordinator In and Patient Check Out. Tap-simple capture, a shared clock, and a scorecard for the whole clinic team.
Concept design — Cascade Eye Clinic (fictional).
The language your clinic already speaks.
Eight tap-points (C1–C8) that cover the whole consult — no medical record fields, no PHI, just minutes.

Up to ten exam rooms at once. One shared view for everyone.
Anyone with access can advance any phase.
The MA finishing rooming, the doctor stepping out, the coordinator wrapping paperwork — whoever is closest taps Done. No handoffs lost in a chart, no waiting for the right person to be at the right screen. Every action is timestamped and attributed in the audit log.
- 10×Up to ten exam rooms tracked simultaneously, each on its own clock.
- 1×One pipeline view shows every active patient in the clinic.
- ∞Any signed-in user can advance any phase for any patient.
What changes when the consult hour is visible.
Shorter, calmer visits.
The bottleneck — usually 'Ready for Doctor' — stops hiding. Wait times come down because they're finally measured.
A real queue, not a guess.
Doctors see which rooms are actually ready and in what order. No more walking the hallway hunting for the next chart.
Proof the rooming work happens.
Chart Ready and In Room phases make invisible prep work visible — and defensible — to leadership.
Smoother checkout.
Coordinator In fires the moment the doctor is out, so checkout starts before the patient leaves the room.
Honest numbers, daily.
Same green / yellow / red scorecard as OR Tempo — per provider, per room, per phase. No vanity dashboards.
More consults per day.
Tighten the standards over time and the schedule absorbs more visits without anyone working harder.
