Last week I explained for you the 3 biggest ways practices lose money through their daily flow and operations.<\/p>\n

These 3 should be constant and never ending areas you seek to improve and perfect. Always focusing on these in some way, shape or form routinely will result in incredible breakthroughs that elevate your team\u2019s level of performance.<\/p>\n

This week I\u2019m asking you to focus on the first one\u2026<\/p>\n

Repeating (and Wasting) Effort<\/p>\n

As we discussed, this is the biggest problem that drives lack of efficiency in your team, patient flow, clinical execution and all around critical tasks within the practice.<\/p>\n

This can be everything from\u2026
\nHaving multiple team members answer the same question
\nHaving to re-do any tasks, work or treatment
\nHaving to leave the room to get an instrument
\nHaving rooms set up differently
\nHaving too many hands in the ordering \u201ccookie jar\u201d
\nNot having clear protocols on insurance data gathering
\nNot having a precise chain of communication and point person for various decisions, whether they originate from the front or the back
\nNot having time scheduled properly for specific procedures
\nI can go on and on and on and make a very long list, but what matters is not my list \u2013 it is yours and your team\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

This is what champions do. They go to work on the basics. The routine, monotonous, daily details that they have to deal with patient after patient, hour after hour, day after day.<\/p>\n

Repeating effort is waste because it destroys the flow and it diminishes key people\u2019s time value and the real priorities that need to be addressed and attended to.<\/p>\n

Simple question: from every single team member\u2019s perspective, where is there repeated effort, inefficiencies, things that don\u2019t get done or things that have to get fixed and redone in some way.<\/p>\n

Go around the room to ask the question, make a list of the answers and then go to work on a solution. Talk through it and make sure these items are dealt with through structured systems that distributes responsibilities and are supported with whatever training is necessary.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll flow through your day, have less stress and more time for patients when you aren\u2019t repeating things and wasting effort. You\u2019ll make more money and that means you are helping more patients get healthy.<\/p>\n\"f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
