This one’s for all the system folks out there! Heck, it’s for the non-system folks, too, because Kiera’s here to share how to start getting your practice organized!
First, know that the Dental A-Team has created a 12 Systems Comprehensive Success Cycle, aka the systems we think are MOST important to get established in your office! The 12 systems are as follows …
Company goals
KPIs
Billing
Operations manual
Scheduling
Patient flow
Treatment planning
Marketing
Hygiene
Meetings
Office manager/HR
Communication and morale
Gotta love 12-step programs, right? Well, here are five we recommend starting off with when building systems:
Hand-offs (see our NDTR cheat sheet)
Tracking (here’s a sample scorecard)
End-of-day checklists (a DAT-approved example)
Hiring
Billing
Establishing systems will turn your practice into a fully functioning one, so get started today!
