Dental Office Management and Leadership Tips and Ideas for April 2022

Dental Office Management and Leadership Tips and Ideas for April 2022

Hello Friends,

Now is the time to welcome Spring and your second quarter for this year. Be sure to review your plans to make this second quarter your best one yet!  What are your plans to exceed your patients’ and potential patients’ expectations? Ensure that everyone on the team is on the same page.

Remember that it is most important to consistently exceed your employees’ expectations. We all need a work environment and culture that refreshes us instead of being a drag and a drain on us.

(Please stop by and say hello to me on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest)

One of the most common issues that I hear from dental employees is that they don’t feel appreciated. Feeling a lack of gratitude is often the main reason why they leave their employer or suffer a decline in positivity and productivity.

National Fun at Work Day: 1st – Do something different, unexpected, and fun today. Have a silly theme for this day. (For example, Crazy hair, silly socks, decades day, etc. POST pictures on Facebook and Instagram)

National Mani-pedi Day: 25th – How about treating your employees to a mani-pedi spa day?

Doctors, if you’re struggling to reach your practice goals or want to improve the culture and spirit of your practice – feel free to contact me for a complimentary, no-obligation 30-minute telephone consultation at bhaydenconsulting@gmail.com to see if a coaching relationship is right for you.

Administrative Professionals Week: 24-30 – This is the week to go above and beyond with your appreciation for your amazing, hard-working business employee or team!

Create Healthy Hygiene Schedules

Hygiene Continuing Care Reminders – Reach out to your unscheduled hygiene patients. Do you know how many of your active patients are also active in hygiene? How many have a scheduled appointment and how many are unscheduled? Here is an opportunity to make a special effort to reach out to your unscheduled hygiene patients…

Cleaning For a Reason Week: 18th -24th – Turn this into an “it’s time (past-time) for your spring dental health cleaning, examination, and oral cancer screening appointment” reminder.

Keep in mind, the best way to keep your patients active is to be sure to reappoint them for their next hygiene visit when they are there at the office. Also, help more of your patients say yes to your treatment recommendations and have them reserve their appointment at the time of treatment presentation.

I hope you enjoyed the ideas that I’ve shared here.

It always brightens my day to hear from you! If you appreciated these complimentary ideas I  would love for you to please take a minute to leave me a review/recommendation here on GOOGLE and/or FACEBOOK.  Thank you!!

Yours for Greater Success,

Dental Office Management and Leadership Tips and Ideas for January 2022

Dental Office Management and Leadership Tips and Ideas for January 2022

Hello Friends,

December is a great time to find and create opportunities for growth in the New Year. Make your action plan for any wanted and needed improvements to your office including setting your production, collection, treatment, continuing education, new patient, administrative time, and happiness goals for the new year.

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”  – Don Millman

What are your practice goals for 2022? I would love the opportunity to work along with you and your team to help you set and exceed your practice goals. If you would like to schedule a no-obligation, complimentary consultation to learn how our coaching program works, please email me at bhaydenconsulting@gmail.com.

Dental Office Management and Leadership Tips & Ideas for January 2022

Insurance Renewals: Many of your patients’ dental insurance maximums renew on January 1. Phone, text, and/or email your patients with a friendly reminder of their renewed benefits and encourage them to make a reservation to come in for their hygiene wellness visit or to get started on their unscheduled treatment needs with the doctor. Include reminders on your social media pages.

Unscheduled Patients – Do you know how many of your active patients are scheduled for appointments and how many are unscheduled? Now is a good time to find out. It doesn’t do any good to have active patients if they’re not scheduled for a future appointment. Make plans to reach out to all your unscheduled patients and invite them to schedule an appointment for their hygiene visit or if they have unscheduled treatment plans.

Office Appearance:

National Clean Off Your Desk Day: Jan. 10th ~ Clutter represents indecision. Make the decision to get rid of the clutter! That includes any sticky notes attached to computer monitors, coats/sweaters hanging on the backs of chairs, and carry-out drink containers sitting out on the counters. While you’re at it, go ahead and attack the cabinets, counters, & closets. Say goodbye to the clutter!

Or send me your email address to bhaydenconsulting@gmail.com and I will send you an invite to follow. This way, you won’t miss a single idea.

Boost Team Morale/Attitudes:

January is National Soup Month – Each week a doctor and/or team member can bring in a crock pot of homemade soup to share with the team for lunch. (For example, Warm Up Wednesdays ) – Be sure to share photos and recipes on your social media pages.

Fun at Work Day: Jan. 28th – Schedule a fun team building activity, games or contest for the team. Be sure to share the fun on your social media platforms.

Speaking of social media platforms – Please stop by and follow me on  Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest

National Compliment Day: Jan. 24th ~ Compliment your doctor(s) and/or team when you catch them doing something “right”. Compliments boost morale.  (Tip: You don’t need a special day to do this – you always want to compliment & reward the behavior and actions that you want to see more of. ) See Why Gratitude Matters

Do not delay, put down on paper all of your thoughts and plans to make 2022 a better year for you, your team, your patients, and your practice. Do include your team in this plan, ask them what their ideas are to make 2022 a more productive and happier year for all.

Instead of trying to change your entire practice in January, the simpler strategy is to create a 12-month plan where you and your team are making constant improvements.
