Dos and don'ts for practice management: Implement procedural time studies
Practices need to determine how much time a doctor or team member requires for each type of appointment. The average practice has approximately seven to eight services that are offered 80% of the time and make up the bulk of practice production and profitability. This means that most appointments scheduled will focus on a relatively limited number of procedures.

Dos and don'ts for patient management: The importance of confirmation calls
Practices that confirm patients have a 30% lower no-show rate than offices that don't. Some practices view confirmation calls as a time-consuming activity that takes time away from other important office responsibilities. In fact, confirmation calls are crucial to practice production.

Dos and don'ts for practice management: Choosing the right technology

Dos and don'ts for case acceptance: Keep all team members on the same page
Every practice has its own philosophy, guidelines, and range of services. Role-playing with scripts familiarizes all team members with the specifics that make the practice unique. Staff members also learn how to answer a patient's questions, confident that they are reflecting the practice's position accurately.

Dos and don'ts for practice production: Building patient trust through teamwork
Each staff member should be ready at all times to foster a sense of trust during every interaction with patients. Whether in scripted or less formal situations, the underlying message should be, "You can trust the doctor and our entire team to have your best interests at heart."
