Dos and dont's for scheduling: Be prepared for patient emergencies
With the right systems in place, your practice can cope with patient emergencies more effectively. The key tools involved are the schedule and the phone, and the logical emergency manager for the practice is, therefore, the front desk coordinator.

Dos and dont's for team leadership: Discover the power of delegating
Many dentists tend to "do it all" or micromanage staff members. Either way, potentially productive time is wasted, doctors work harder than necessary for what the practice earns, team morale suffers, and growth is curtailed. As the CEO and team leader, only you have the power to change this pattern -- and doing so can have a tremendous impact on your enjoyment of dentistry and the success of your practice.

Dos and don'ts for team training: Schedule a training day
One of the best ways to upgrade team skills is to hold a training day two to four times a year. Properly planned, with a detailed agenda and "fun" breaks for shared meals and group interaction, a training day will not only improve overall team performance but also heighten everyone's sense of belonging and purpose.

Dos and don'ts for practice management: Changing practice systems for a changing practice
As soon as a dental practice implements new management systems the countdown to system replacement begins. In fact, the more effective the systems are, the sooner they will need to be replaced. As a practice grows and conditions change, tweaking and adjustments can only go so far. Practice owners must learn to recognize when systems that once drove growth have begun to slow it down … and replace them.
