Organization of a dental practice

Organization of a dental practice

The organization of a practice is, in essence, composed of ensuring you and your staff know how to efficiently and effectively process:

a. New Patients
b. Returning Patients
c. Emergency Patients

When we work with a new client we evaluates where the weak links are in handling new, returning and emergency patients and  then systematically strengthen each of the weak links through training. 

The following functions are a few examples of where weak links are often discovered:

a. New Patient phone calls
b. Processing new patients
c. Financial arrangements
d. Patient retention
e. Scheduling

Often there are functions not even being done such as running an effective dental office huddle. Another key is to ensure that specific functions are assigned to specific staff so there is accountability and eliminating overlapping functions.

That's it in a nut shell. Get organized and see patient complaints decrease dramatically.
