The Dental Practice Assessment: The First Step Toward Success
How can your practice improve? The Ettters Group Dental Practice Assessment will reveal the answers.
Your dental practice is unique, and so are the bottlenecks, frustrations and inefficiencies that affect productivity, teamwork, patient satisfaction, and your bottom line.
To untangle these issues, Catherine Etters personally conducts a full-scale dental practice assessment on-site or off-site, depending on your needs. The assessment of your practice generally takes three to four days. The first step is an off-site analysis of practice data, followed by interviews of staff, owners and associates, and, when on-site, observation of operations, processes and systems in action.
The Etters Group practice assessment includes evaluation of every aspect of your business to identify key areas for improvement. Specifically, a practice assessment considers anything that may be affecting your bottom line, productivity and stress levels. Comprehensive analysis includes:
- Examination of financial reports, including cash flow, production by procedure, collections.
- Evaluation of office systems and technology (Management Workshops)
- Consideration of case presentation strategies (Team Coordinator Training)
- Assessment of team dynamics and staff responsibilities (HR/Staffing)
- Review of use of space and office environment (Stress Reduction)
Catherine evaluates your practice from every touchpoint—from the front desk to the operatory, from the business office to the break room. As a result, The Etters Group dental practice assessment pinpoints specific areas to deliver a clear understanding of where improvements are necessary and what to do next.
