Do You Know What Your Minimum Viable Systems Actually Look Like?
Switch on the same software for a cosmetic practice, an orthopaedic practice and a dermatology practice, and you'll get three different Minimum Viable Systems. For cosmetic, it's usually admissions and quoting working tightly together. For orthopaedic, it might be referral triage and imaging instead.
Most practices have never actually sat down and defined their own. Which means there's no way to tell if setup is genuinely finished, or just switched on.
Good news: it doesn't have to happen all at once. Map your busiest patient journey first (that's what we call a Critical Client Flow), and it'll tell you exactly what belongs in your MVS. What's essential before go-live and what can wait isn't the same for every practice, so this is about your setup, not a template.
That's the real test: not whether everything's switched on, but whether it matches how your practice actually works.
