Leadership Tip

You Matter to Me Day: October 7th. – No employee will ever complain about being over-recognized and appreciated. Let your employees know just how much they matter to you. Employee appreciation is directly linked with job satisfaction, productivity, happiness at work, and overall team morale. Make sure they feel appreciated and valued!

Boss’s Day: October 16th –  Plan now to make this a special day for your boss(es).

Practice Management Reminders...

Get Proactive – Look ahead at the doctor & hygiene schedules for the rest of the year. Plan now for how you’ll reach/exceed your scheduling, production, and collection goals for the final quarter. Have you reserved some time at the end of the year to accommodate emergencies, lab case treatment, and those patients who wait until the last minute to use their insurance benefits?  Remember, you get to control the schedule. Stressful & chaotic? Or Productive and smooth?  Your choice 🙂

Insurance Renewal Letters – Send out your Insurance and HSA/FSA “Use it or Lose it” reminder texts, emails, and letters. Make calls to patients with unscheduled treatment plans and/or due in hygiene. Have you gotten started on this?

Dental Office Insurance Renewal Reminders Betty Hayden Consulting

In-Office Savings Plan – If you offer an in-house savings plan this is a good time of year to let your uninsured patients know about it.

Office Numbers (key practice indicators) – Knowing your practice numbers and doing something with what you know about those numbers is key to growing and improving your practice. Numbers tell a story. Numbers tell you if your practice is healthy or unhealthy. Get a baseline of where you’re at to set goals for where you want to go. If your numbers reveal unhealthiness be quick to act and get help to restore your practice to health and happiness.
