Abstract
Optimal access to office care requires a detailed understanding of a practice's capacity to provide care and demand for services. Once capacity and demand are known, they can be effectively managed to provide care today for those needs that arise today. Such a system of "open access" benefits clinicians and patients alike. This article describes specific steps a practice can take to achieve open access.
