Why is my Diary Whitespace Percentage High?

Why is my Diary Whitespace % High?

The MPC definition of whitespace is unbooked and available time in the appointment diary and is depicted in red on the Appointment Diary Report and the Whitespace Forward Cover Report

If your whitespace percentage is showing higher than expected it may be that there are diaries open in the background on your PMS (Practice Management Software).

To check your whitespace on MPC:

  • Performance

  • Appointment Diary

  • Click on Practice name to open the individual Provider details

  • Click on the Provider's bar graph to open the diary details

Whitespace is shown in red

You may see whitespace outside your normal working hours which is not visible on you PMS diary screen.

The image below shows dairies which are open from 0830hrs to 1700hrs but if diaries are opened outside of 'normal' working hours it will show this here.

Check your Providers set up on you PMS to ensure rotas are correctly set
