If your medical practice is experiencing a slump in new patients, revenues, or employee motivation, a shift in perspective might be in order. Allow yourself some time to dig deep into why and how you do things – and ensure that your approaches align both with your personal goals as well as current best medical and business practices. Here’s how to take a fresh look at your practice with an eye to continuous improvement.

As a medical provider, the lease is one of your major expenses. Handled right, your lease can work in your favor and position you for success. But a poorly negotiated lease can cost you thousands in perks and options left on the table. Before you renew your current lease or sign the lease on a new building, here’s what to consider.

Continuous improvement is at the heart of a successful medical practice. What worked in the past isn’t always what works now. And each expansion, service addition, or new piece of technology is an opportunity to reassess and refine your offer. If you’re ready to bowl a strike in the eyes of the public, review each area of your practice to identify gaps or areas for improvement.

It’s hard to believe, but December is here again – and in a few short weeks, we’ll be getting ready to launch into 2023. Now is the time to get on top of outstanding admin, accounting, and to-do tasks so that you’re well-placed to hit the ground running in January. Here’s what to do.

Having an exit strategy is vital in any industry – including healthcare. Whether you’re looking ahead to retirement or are weighing the pros and cons of acquisition or expansion, you’ll want to ensure that your medical practice valuation is as high as possible. Here’s what to consider in both the long and short term.

Your patients are your practice’s lifeblood. But acquiring new patients requires a significant investment in marketing and resources, which is why it’s vital to keep new patients coming back. Here’s what to know about staying in touch with patients post-visit – and using their feedback to continue to shape your practice for the better.

A motivated team is vital to a great patient experience. While elements such as pay, benefits, and autonomy all help boost employee engagement, team-building exercises are another opportunity to foster a positive practice culture. Here’s how to get your team feeling connected and inspired to do their best.

Organizational culture is critical to your medical office’s success. It’s the glue that brings and keeps your team together, creating a sensibility that infuses your entire brand experience. But a culture can’t just be applied from above. To truly “stick” in an authentic, long-lived way, culture must be co-created with staff at all levels. Here’s how to foster a shared, communal culture in your medical office workplace.

The patient experience doesn’t begin and end in the consultation room. Patients interact with a number of different personnel, from the front desk staff to nurses and assistants. These interactions shape your patients’ experience and overall perception of your practice, so ensuring that your staff properly reflects your brand and company culture is vital. Here’s what to think about when considering a new hire.

Local SEO is a big deal. This is the algorithm that works to surface your healthcare practice when people in your area are searching for specific services, treatments, or products. With 46% of Google searches involving users looking for local information, ranking highly on local searches is critical to the success of your practice – even for specialists or those delivering telehealth care.
