Yeah, the definition made me wonder. I would probably still use "patient log", or something like that in this context (betegforg. napló, complete with dates and times and everything).
András Illyés May 17, 2016:
This definition says that flow is the movement of patients between departments, staff groups or organisations as part of a patient's care pathway. So I guess it's a wider term, and a part of the patient journey/pathway (betegút in hungarian).

In this case, patients are only visiting their general practioner, so I would use this definition here:

patient turnover: the number of patients seen per hour of consultation time

Salaried and fee-for-service general practitioners: is there a difference in patient turnover?

But, it depends on how we define "flow".
Orsolya Naszradi-M. May 17, 2016:
patient flow, maybe? not my specialisation, but in retail we say "customer flow". http://www.institute.nhs.uk/quality_and_service_improvement_...

Or can you just say"patient log" or something along these lines?
