Provider Panel Size Calculator accuracy and testing

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • The calculators use simple transparent formulas rather than vendor-specific analytics models.
  • Inputs are processed locally in the browser and are not stored by Calwarden.
  • This is operations planning math, not medical, legal, staffing, billing, or financial advice.

Unit handling

  • Provider FTE accepts numeric values.
  • Visits per Day accepts numeric values.
  • Clinic Days per Year accepts numeric values.
  • Visits per Patient per Year accepts numeric values.
  • Access Buffer accepts values in %.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
