Synopsis:
As providers\, we
face an increasingly complex professional landscape that demands more than
clinical excellence. During our time together\, we will apply operations
and finance principles to solve diverse business challenges. For operation
s\, we will reveal how enhanced workflows and elite customer service can r
aise productivity and can decrease consumer pain points. On a higher level
\, we will illustrate how to design an operational playbook that drives yo
ur financial model\, identifying key inputs for different appointment type
s. For finance\, the dental industry is innovative and provides exciting o
ptions for capital expenditures\, such as new equipment or office remodeli
ng. We’ll show how financial forecasts augment your decision-making. On th
e aggregate\, a versatile business toolkit highlights competitive advantag
es\, uncovers underperforming areas\, and builds customizable business sol
utions that uphold the sanctity of the patient-doctor relationship. Effici
ency is adopting strategic measures that simultaneously ignite growth\, st
rengthen team engagement\, and improve the patient experience. Lastly\, we
will examine practice transitions\, exploring both traditional (doctor-do
ctor) transactions and DSO/PE sales.
