Exciting times ahead

What does it mean to Win the Dental Day? I had the pleasure of presenting my course, "Win the Dental Day," at the Spokane Dental Society's annual conference last week. Unfortunately, it is getting harder to win the dental day. Practices are experiencing a decline in their bottom line due to increased supply costs, increased employee salaries, and poor insurance reimbursement. To stay profitable, practices must find ways to decrease overhead and increase efficiency. The good news is that winning the dental day can be achieved by creating organized and efficient workflow processes and lean inventory management systems. Zirc's Color Method will do just that! This award-winning system is proven to save you time and money and create a more stress-free work environment to improve team culture. Color Method is a methodology and set of principles used to improve clinical workflow in the dental practice. The framework is aimed at creating ultimate clinical efficiency, reducing cost and waste of materials, improving staff training, and elevating the patient experience.

🌟🔄 Welcome back to Tuesday Tips with MODPractice! This week's focus: The HANDOFF 🏃♂️🤝 Imagine your dental team as an elite 400m relay team at the Olympics. Each member is exceptional, but the game-changer? The handoff. A smooth transition can mean the difference between gold and silver, just like we recently saw at the Track and Field World Championships where a fumbled handoff cost Team USA dearly. 🦷 How does this relate to dentistry? A world-class front office team and an equally skilled back office team are great, but without effective systems - or "Relays" - in place, the practice won’t function seamlessly as a team. 🔑 Solution: Implement a robust Handoff process in your patient flow. Here’s how best practices look: 🔄 FRONT DESK HANDOFF: [Assistant escorts patient to the front desk] Assistant to FD: "Ms. Smith had a great appointment. We've scheduled her next cleaning in 6 months." Assistant provides a routing slip with completed treatment details (or this info is entered directly in the operatory). 🔄 HYGIENIST TO DOCTOR HANDOFF: [Doctor enters the operatory] Hygienist to Doctor: "Ms. Smith's overall homecare is good. We've discussed flossing techniques and identified a sensitive area on tooth #30. There's also a potential fracture on #14." Your handoff process should be tailored to your practice but must include clear communication between the back and front office about completed treatments and future appointments. A well-executed handoff ensures nothing falls through the cracks, leading to a more organized and patient-centric experience. #TuesdayTips #DentalHandoff #TeamworkInDentistry #MODPracticeInsights #PatientFlowManagement
