“Scheduling is the one thing that costs dental practices more in long-term revenue than anything else.” ~Dr. Bruce B. Baird
If you’re taught anything in dental school about scheduling, it’s about “perfect day” scheduling. Numerous consultants across the country teach it, but it’s just about the worst system you can use. It is totally non-productive. But you may not know how unproductive it is until you actually use it yourself on a daily basis.
I’ve had a lot of doctors recently mentioning the stress scheduling is causing them. I have so much sympathy for you if you are one off them. I’ve been there…you’re working harder and faster and nothing is changing. I think this is so unfair. So I’m re-releasing one of my most popular episodes where I take a look at productive scheduling and the thought process I used in my dental practice that got me off the hamster wheel and onto a system that actually increased my productivity and lowered my and my team’s stress.
The key here is productivity, we are working smarter, not harder. Listen in for more strategies to add consistency, lower stress, and bring predictability to your practice.
- looking at your hourly goal and booking procedures that allow you to meet that goal
- how to have your assistants take ownership of their patients
- the importance of communication between the assistants and the front office
