Is Your Practice Perfect or Does It Need Improvement?

Maintaining a practice used to be considerably more accessible than it is today. practices had straightforward objectives, such as getting certified, managing overhead, providing excellent patient care, and building strong patient relationships. In this 21st century, everything is more complex. Electronic health records are used to report performance, comply with various treatment protocols and care costs, and coordinate with practice staff. The excessive documentation, reporting, and regulations make it more complicated for a practice to succeed than it was previously.

When developing a plan for success, start by evaluating your practice’s strengths and weaknesses. Consider the owner’s long-term goals, whether they’re enhancing patient relationships, growing revenue, or strengthening workflow and operations, and then develop strategies to achieve them. To properly assess your practice, determine whether these strategies are helping you achieve your objectives. The next step is determining the practice’s financials and considering net assets, profit/loss, revenue, and overhead. Determine if there are any shortcomings, where they occur, and how they can be improved.

Do you need more patience? Is a competitor’s practice becoming stronger? Begin a marketing campaign to recover lost patients, budget to control costs, and conduct thorough market research to find out exactly where you’re lacking and what you can do to avoid these pitfalls.

The third step is to measure provider productivity and how many patients each provider can attend to in a specified period. Measure the time it takes for each provider to document, the time spent conversing with the patients, etc. Compare the productivity of the top performer with that of the lowest performer and urge them to discuss strategies to enhance productivity, provide optimal patient care, and increase motivation
