Zoom Webinar: STOP Pre-Appointing ALL of Your Hygiene Patients! 1/12/2022 1:00 PM - 1/12/2022 2:00 PM

Wed, 08 Dec 2021 14:21:14 GMT

STOP Pre-Appointing ALL of Your Hygiene Patients!

We understand this course may be slightly controversial. After all, many managers of dental practices were told to “pre-appoint everyone”, at a very early point in their career. We get it! Pre-appointing everyone is a habit.

Automatically pre-appointing all your hygiene patients can/will create many unintended negative consequences down the road. You will learn what those consequences are. Then, you will discover how to re-organize this business system, so your practice can avoid the consequences and continue to grow.

Course Learning Objectives:

Share friction, negative symptoms, & consequences, found in dental practices who have pre-appointed all hygiene for an extended period of time.
Share why and how these consequences are exacerbated by time, patient volume, and practice marketing strategy.
Provide details of a preferred, hybrid version of hygiene schedule management, which will avoid the negative impact of pre-appointing everyone, and allow the practice to grow without friction

Topic: The Healthcare Manager's Toolkit for High Retention

Speaker: Dan Hiltz

Topic Details: High employee turnover imposes a significant financial and performance burden on all
organizations. The combination of low unemployment and a shrinking pool of working-age
candidates mean the problem of turnover will only get worse. In healthcare, where the
demand for talent is projected to be higher than any other sector, the problem is particularly
acute. The ability of organizations to improve the retention of trained, productive healthcare
workers is a critical success factor. This presentation examines the impact and causes of
turnover and explores proven management techniques which increase employee engagement
and reduce turnover. Retention can be the difference between net margin and loss.

Learning Objectives:

The current state of retention and tenure the US healthcare labor force
The factors that cause employees to leave jobs
The actions that managers can take to reduce them
The principles of positive employee engagement and motivation that boost retention
