Numbers Tell a Story
The Five Stats Every Office Should Monitor
Description
You went to dental school to help patients improve their oral health and your team joined your practice because it feels good to help people. Owning a dental practice is more than helping people. You are running a small business. If you are up for it, then let’s get busy learning the top five numbers the doctor should keep his or her eye on and discover the systems needed to make sure patients don’t fall through the cracks.
Monitoring numbers doesn’t mean you write them down on your spreadsheet, stick them in a 3-ring binder and forget about them. Numbers are meant to be discussed with your doctor, talked about with your team and used to create new strategies to streamline your systems, improve your customer service and, above all, give you something to celebrate. Numbers tell a story.
