Challenges
Modern healthcare practices face many challenges. These are some of the most common problems encountered by our clients. If you are straggling with one or more of these challenges do not hesitate, contact us now!
High Stress
New or existing practice that lacked systems. Suddenly not participating in several insurance plans, which caused patients to leave the practice. Chaotic schedule with short bursts of hyperactivity punctuated by long stretches of unfilled time. These are just some causes of high stress practice.
Flat Production
It is very common amoung our clients to hit a performane plateau. After few years of growth, many practices experience stagnation or even worse, decrease in performence. Just like a proffesional athelete, healthcare provider needs an experience coach to take you to the next level.
Chaotic Schedule
There is no logic to the schedule or the practice’s operating hours. The office keeps irregular hours—half-days, early mornings, late evenings and Saturday appointments. Such an inconsistent schedule creates a lot of stress in the doctor’s and team members’ personal lives.
Staff Issues
From large to small practice, a well define chain of command and clear business ctructure is a must. Without well defined roles and responsibilities, as well as effective office communication, practice will suffer from low morale, high stress and high turnover.
Not Enough New Patients
Most offices don’t have a well define system for encouraging patient referrals, using customer service scripts or trackingreferral sources. Instead 5% or more of the revenues is spend on uneffective external mamrketing strategies.
Low Income
Stress and challenges tend to attract negative outcomes. Without help, many practitioners allow slow steady decline in morale, new patient flow and low production to tranlate into lower bottom lineresulting in low take home income.
