Fall Clean-up: What to do when the kids go back to school
Posted October 8, 2018 by Angela S.
It’s that time of the year again… Back to School! Parents are trying to get kids out of bed and on the bus, fall sports replace beach fun, and teachers are back in full swing. After a busy summer, you may start to experience more down time during the back to school craze, but don’t worry – there are many ways for you to keep your practice busy. Here are 3 ideas to remain productive:
1. Review your treatment plans! Now is a great time to go through treatment plans that were created this year and get them scheduled. Your patients may have simply forgotten about them. A quick call, or email, reminding them to schedule that treatment may be just what they need. Don’t let that revenue, and top-notch customer care, fall through the cracks. XLDent makes it easy to see all your treatment plans within the software and easily drag-and-drop planned treatments right into the appointment book as they schedule.
2. Utilize the XLDent data and KPI Dashboard. There are several ways for you to understand your practice even better. While it may seem overwhelming to review reports when the schedule is full, slower periods are a great time to analyze key metrics which can assist in improving your practice’s numbers. You can determine anything from how much new patients spend on average, types of services being performed, and who has outstanding balances, in order to boost your business. And our KPI Dashboard service takes those reports one step further! With a real-time view of Key Performance Indicators, the KPI Dashboard can be accessed from any computer, smartphone, or tablet with internet access to give you an overall or detailed look at your practice health.
3. Training, Training, Training! Take this time to boost your skills and take advantage of the plethora of XLDent software webinars. From appointment scheduler, to patient communication, core business systems and clinical charting, webinars can be as short as just a few minutes to longer, more in-depth ones. There are topics, tips, and features for everyone in the practice! The more your staff knows, the better your practice will run overall. We are also here to help. If you have area’s in your workflow that need a little TLC, our expertise is practice management. Contact us for additional training, which can be in your office or on-line.
We understand that every business will experience slow times and the team at XLDent is here to assist. If you want to review any of the topics covered above, don’t hesitate to call our support team to get additional information. Don’t let the fall season get you down. Instead, take charge and get those items taken care of that will benefit your practice in the long run.
