What it is

Takes your own numbers — the visits you see a day (read from your bookings or entered), how long a visit takes, the hours you sit, what a visit earns and costs — and works out how full your one chair is and what a second would add and cost. Every added cost is a line with its source, the extra visits you expect say where they come from, and the arithmetic is shown step by step with the break-even. No rule of thumb ships: the utilisation at which you want to start modelling is your own setting with its source.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not recruit or interview anyone, and it assumes no fee, cost or utilisation of its own — it only models whether the load you enter justifies a second doctor or room.

Questions clinics ask

What does NextChair do?

Models when a solo clinic’s load justifies a second doctor or room. Takes your own numbers — the visits you see a day (read from your bookings or entered), how long a visit takes, the hours you sit, what a visit earns and costs — and works out how full your one chair is and what a second would add and cost. Every added cost is a line with its source, the extra visits you expect say where they come from, and the arithmetic is shown step by step with the break-even. No rule of thumb ships: the utilisation at which you want to start modelling is your own setting with its source.

What data does NextChair read and write?

NextChair reads bookings, your own fees and costs and writes second-chair models. Its data class is No PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does NextChair deliberately not do?

It does not recruit or interview anyone, and it assumes no fee, cost or utilisation of its own — it only models whether the load you enter justifies a second doctor or room.

What happens to our data if we uninstall NextChair?

Models are kept on record.

Is NextChair available today?
