LIVEcast: Effective Communication to Enhance Practice Performance 5/1/2024 1:00 PM - 5/1/2024 2:00 PM

Effective Communication to Enhance Practice Performance

Facilitating effective communication between dental team members is a primary role of the Office Manager. Practices with strong communication standards typically have higher production, lower stress, and increased staff longevity. This 1-hour LIVEcast will explain how the Office Manager can support the practice through excellent communication. This starts with defining and implementing a vision, mission, and culture to help the team understand expectations and how to align with practice leadership.

Dr. Levin will then provide office managers with a highly understandable and easy-to-implement process for creating an environment of trust within the dental team that will benefit the practice and increase everyone’s professional satisfaction. Superior teams are built on a foundation of trust and transparent communication.

With a clearly defined vision and a culture that includes trust and open communication, practices can then take advantage of the power of delegation. Webinar attendees will learn what to delegate, how to do it with the most benefit, and the positive impact it has on dental practice success.

Dr. Levin will also teach Office Managers how to run an effective Daily Business Meeting to improve communication between all practice team members. The Daily Business Meeting helps every team member to properly organize the day, understand what needs to be accomplished, and what result is expected. He will also describe an ideal process for conducting performance reviews that actually works to motivate and empower members of the team.

Course Learning Objectives:

Understand the critical role of vision, mission, and culture in practice success, and how to properly develop each
Learn how to build a foundation of trust where team members work more independently, accept delegation, and contribute to practice success
Learn to run an effective daily business meeting to increase efficiency and practice production

LIVEcast begins at 1:00 pm Eastern on our AADOM Facebook Page, the AADOM LinkedIn Page, and the AADOM YouTube Channel

LIVEcast: 3 Ways Dental Assistants Impact the Bottom Line 5/22/2024 1:00 PM - 5/22/2024 2:00 PM

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 09:34:09 GMT

3 Ways Dental Assistants Impact the Bottom Line

In today’s economic environment, dental practices need to be highly focused and efficient to maintain maximum profitability. Not only do practices need to address rising operating costs, staffing issues remain a top challenge. On average, dental practices look to fill at least one dental assisting position each year, and most report that it is very challenging to do so. But what does this cost your practice exactly?

New research uncovers the specific costs of open dental assisting positions, including the impact on revenue and productivity, and provides guidance on strategies dental leaders can take to reap positive financial returns.

The results of the research reflect responses from dental team leaders responsible for the staffing, scheduling, billing, and overall financial management of dental practices, including dentists, office managers, and practice administrators – including many AADOM members.

Join us for this info-packed session to be among the first to get the results. You’ll learn about the true costs of turnover, including the lost time and revenue associated with hiring and onboarding a new dental assistant. You’ll also learn what you can do to mitigate dental assistant turnover, reduce associated hiring and training costs, maintain productivity levels, and preserve at-risk revenue.

We’ll also share the toolkit we’ve developed to help you make sound recommendations for your dental practice based on your own practice’s financial data. And, we’ll hear from a practice administrator who has helped build a positive work culture at her clinic, which has led to strong employee loyalty and high retention.

This session will be full of data, resources, and real-world advice. Don’t miss out!

Course Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to:

Describe the financial impact of dental assistants on the dental practice
Explain how patient visits are addressed when the dental assistant is out of the office
Cite the average time for a practice to hire and train a dental assistant
Calculate turnover costs and at-risk revenue
Analyze the costs and returns related to dental assistant wages and turnover

Dental Menu helps office managers run a successful membership plan. We understand the complexities involved with pricing, getting your team on board, and setting things up properly in your practice management software. Our software will help you run your membership plan smoothly.

We help offices properly account for their membership revenue by matching production with collections and eliminating the need to adjust membership services to $0. This ensures that your patient ledger is accurate with collections matching production when included benefits (exam, cleaning, x-rays) are received. This results in accurate KPIs, (numbers) accurate provider compensation, and increased confidence in your team.

Our services are all “White Labeled” which means patients are purchasing your plan directly from you and not through a third party. This allows you to leverage our software without sacrificing any control or patient relationships. We are happy to help and share what we have learned so don’t hesitate to reach out.

She has 23 years of dental experience. Leslie joined her current practice, Family Dental Care NC in August of 2004.

Leslie states that she loves everything about dentistry, especially the joy of being able to learn and experience new things on a daily basis. I love seeing the patients bring their children in for their very first visit, to seeing the long-term patients that are here every six months become family. The best part is patients who were toddlers when I started are now adults and graduating and starting families of their own. I’ve enjoyed growing with these patient families through the years!

Her favorite hobby is running! Over the past several years, she has run 2 Full Marine Corps Marathons and is nearing almost 20 half marathons. She does not do it to make time or beat records; her passion is in having completed the distance.
