We use 2 columns for appointments - one for sick, one for physicals. (There is only 1 doctor here but I made a dummy provider to make the 2nd schedule.)

The slots are set at 15 minutes. I block every other slot in the physicals column so that we have 1 physical every 30 minutes. However, there are additional blocked slots throughout the day. This is labor intensive to do (we block the schedule in administrator settings) but it's the only way I've found that will create a good flow in the schedule w/o being too overbooked or underbooked. And I'm still tinkering with it!

We generally have about 4 no shows per week and see about 25 patients per day.
