Lots and lots of magic... and the Web!

10 Ways to Increase Your Practice Production from Within
|
Cathy Jameson  | |
Power Thought from Jameson Management
-
Go over dentistry diagnosed but untreated for
your scheduled patients every
day in your morning huddle. View these reports, which you can print from Curve,
together and make a point to go over these problem areas with your patients
while in the chair that day.
-
Ask your patients to fill out a Smile Evaluation
questionnaire when they come in for their next appointment. Even if they filled one out as a new patient,
their wants and needs may have changed over time and here is a place to
pinpoint those hot buttons.
-
Ask for referrals.
-
Give at least two business cards to each patient
at each appointment to give to friends and family for referrals.
-
Use the digital camera effectively and regularly
to show your patients the areas of needed attention in their mouths. A picture is worth a thousand words!
-
Educate!
Make sure you have ample patient education material available for your
patients. Before and after albums in the
reception area, attractive brochures about specific treatments, educational
videos provided by Curve Dental, etc.
-
Be persistent and proactive in your continuous
care program. Use Curve Dental to help you locate
patients that have "fallen through the cracks" in their continuous care and
begin an effective campaign to get back on board with their hygiene
appointments.
-
Market to your patient family. Curve Dental can provide you with
ample reasons to stay in contact with your patient family, thus solidifying
their relationship with you. Use this
software to stay in front of your patients for birthdays, post-treatment
letters, educational letters, and notes to referring doctors, to list a few.
-
Amp up your case presentation system. Time to revamp how you are presenting treatment
to your patients? Get this system
revitalized and give your patient the best possible through excellent
communication skills and technological skills (i.e. use of digital and
intra-oral camera shots). Bring your
patients in need of extensive treatment back in for a new and improved
presentation - you may have found a new way to get to "yes"!
-
Behold the power of the hygiene appointment! Give yourselves ample time in the hygiene
appointment to go over dentistry needed in your patients' mouths. The use of the digital camera in a hygiene
appointment can prove to be a very powerful tool for case acceptance.
