However, it may not be easy to determine how fast your business will grow to exceed your capacity. Therefore when growth takes place and one is required to expand, he/she will be required to plan how the facility expansion will be done to increase capacity

1. Know what you need

To start with, the first step is always to know what you will need during the expansion. This demands that you know how fast your business is growing. To determine this, you can use your new patient admission records which will show you the growth rate. This information will help you plan even for future increase.

2. Determine the possible challenges

Everything has to sides and despite the fact that increasing your resource capacity will have a positive impact, this does not mean it is devoid of challenges. Some of them involve how the reconstruction will affect the ongoing activities of the facility or in case of migration, the need to re-advertise your new location.

3. Prepare a budget

The decision to increase your resource capacity comes with a cost. To ensure that losses are minimized, one is required to prepare a budget that serves as a guideline of the costs to be incurred. This budget should be inclusive of not just the facility expansion or migration but even the expenses of added staffs, new Pro Adjusters and even miscellaneous expenses incurred. Every coin counts.

An increase in capacity for an Elite Adjuster means increased demand for their facilities and this may also mean introducing branches to minimize overloading one facility.
