Want to spend less time worrying or managing your practice?
Want to spend more time having fun and focusing on the things that you care about?
If you answered YES then
How future proof is your practice?
Will you attract and retain your best staff?
Four key areas to focus on....
How are you performing financially?
Do you know monthly how are you performing financially?
Making a profit is a result of what you do
and not why you do what you do?
Your Patients and Provider
Your customers (your patients and providers) easily work out if they like you or love what you do.
Are you doing the right thing the right way?
How are your processes? Why not automate many boring but important tasks.
Is your team learning and growing together?
Use useful tools to keep track of staff morale, new ideas and fix any costly mistakes.
Successful succession planning is all about trust
It is a process and not event. Start from the day you open your practice doors, if you want to recruit the best for your practice. It is never to late but you should start now.
Potential owner providers (and spouses, partners, bankers) want to see excellent clinical/business systems and accountability.
