Hygiene Scheduling System Checklist

A one-page checklist for running the hygiene schedule. Section A covers recall habits: pre-scheduling recall patients, training the hygiene team on scripting, and a 90% pre-book goal. Section B handles cancellations with an ASAP list, texting or calling ready patients, and filling openings within 30 minutes. Section C tracks filled versus scheduled hours each week, and Section D assigns a schedule coordinator and monthly reporting, with manager and doctor sign-off.

Use it when hygiene openings keep going unfilled or when setting up a new schedule coordinator. Review it with the hygiene and front desk teams together, then revisit it monthly when the results are reported.
