Is less work the answer to practice growth?
In the midst of The Great Resignation, staffing issues have become among the top challenges facing dental practices.
Dental teams are becoming increasingly thin. In response, practice owners are having to assign tasks based on availability, not skill sets.
The impact of this is a frustrated team resulting in a less-than-ideal patient experience and slowed practice growth.
We have been able to help practices avoid staffing stresses and struggles.
How? Using Virtual Patient Advocates. Virtual Patient Advocates take work off of your team members’ plates, such as:
- prescreening leads for need
- prequalifying leads for financing
- handling all the follow-up needed to know if a lead is ready, willing, and able to move forward with treatment
- scheduling patients for consults only when they have financing in place and are ready to move forward.
The result? A team that’s more fulfilled, patients who are more satisfied, less burden on practice—and, ultimately, more profits for the practice owner.
