What is a patient Mill?
A place that overbooks clinicians so they are seeing multiple patients at once.
An example: you need physical therapy. You are referred to a PT clinic but find that after the first visit (or perhaps even during) your PT has one or maybe even two other patients they’re treating at the same time as they’re treating you.
This is a miserable working environment for the PTs—it’s contributing to healthcare burnout. AND it’s bad for the patients too. It worsens their quality of care.
