Description

Internship – Patient Access & Performance Analytics 8-Week Program | Practice Development & Operations Internship Focus This internship sits at the intersection of data, patient behavior, and team performance, with a specific emphasis on telephone performance and conversion. The intern will move beyond pulling reports to helping the Practice Development and Operations teams answer real business questions: * Where are we losing patients? * Why aren’t patients scheduling? * Who is converting well—and what are they doing differently? * Where are missed opportunities we can still recover? The goal is to turn patterns into practical insights we can use in huddles, coaching, and training. ---------------------------------------- Core Impact Areas 1. Conversion & Missed Opportunities * Analyze calls not booked, consults not scheduled, and patients lost after first contact * Identify recoverable patients and breakdown points in the scheduling journey * Surface trends by practice, day, time, and team member 2. Scheduling & Access * Review how far out patients are being scheduled * Identify gaps, bottlenecks, and unused capacity * Highlight opportunities to move patients forward sooner 3. Coaching & Team Performance Support * Identify patterns by team member, not for evaluation but for improvement * Compare high-performing behaviors to lower-conversion patterns * Translate findings into insights usable for: * Daily/weekly huddles * Training themes * Coaching conversations 4. Telephone Performance * Analyze answer rates, missed calls, and call handling outcomes * Identify trends tied to staffing, time of day, and call volume * Support improvements in patient experience and call conversion ---------------------------------------- 8-Week Program Structure Week 1 – Onboarding & Context * Introduction to Beacon, Practice Development, and Operations * Overview of the patient journey from first call → consult → surgery * On-site visit to Atlanta Oral & Facial Surgery to understand OMS patient and staff workflow * Align on key questions the internship will help answer Week 2 – Data Familiarization * Learn core data sources related to calls, scheduling, and access * Understand key metrics tied to conversion, access, and performance * Begin exploratory analysis to identify early trends Week 3 – Patient Loss & Drop-Off Analysis * Identify where patients fall out of the funnel * Focus on calls not booked and consults not scheduled * Begin mapping common failure points Week 4 – Scheduling & Access Patterns * Analyze booking timelines and availability gaps * Identify practices or patterns driving long delays * Highlight opportunities to improve access without adding cost Week 5 – Telephone Performance Deep Dive * Review answer rates and missed call trends * Analyze timing, staffing, and call handling outcomes * Identify practical opportunities to improve call capture Week 6 – Team-Level Patterns * Identify what high performers are doing differently * Compare behaviors, not just outcomes * Package insights in a way that supports coaching—not judgment Week 7 – Insight Translation * Convert findings into: * Clear stories * Visual summaries * Coaching-ready insights * Pressure-test conclusions with Practice Development and Ops leaders Week 8 – Final Readout & Recommendations * Present key findings and themes * Highlight: * Biggest conversion opportunities * Most recoverable patients * Coaching and access improvements with the highest impact * Deliver a short recommendations summary Beacon can act on immediately ---------------------------------------- Deliverables (Practical, Not Academic) * Clear summary of where Beacon is losing patients and why * Identification of recoverable opportunities * Actionable insights to support: * Team huddles * Coaching conversations * Telephone performance improvement * A final presentation and written summary usable beyond the internship ---------------------------------------- Ideal Intern Profile * Comfortable working with data and asking why behind the numbers * Curious about consumer behavior and patient experience * Interested in healthcare operations, access, and performance * Able to translate analysis into plain-language insights ----------------------------------------
