One thing that helped me when we ramped up β€œlasers and fillers” consults was a recurring 10-minute Friday debrief. I write down one change to try the next week and tag it in the EHR so the team sees it; if you don’t have an EHR macro, a shared note works just as well. Are you tracking whether those tweaks shave any chair time or bump material cost?

Palms/soles, right? Fitting, because last week we added a 60‑second β€œwhat to expect” screen on the check‑in tablet for energy‑device consults to optimize flow; it trimmed chairside repeats and reduced surprise reschedules. Not everyone reads it β€” β€” so we bolded a single line on downtime; @owhite90, have you tried surfacing that upfront or a short Loom link in confirmations?
