As providers, we face an increasingly complex professional landscape that demands more than clinical excellence. KPIs enable us to be data-oriented but not necessarily data-driven. During our time together, we’ll address that gap by applying operations and finance frameworks to solve diverse business challenges. For operations, we’ll quantitatively analyze workflows and bottlenecks, and then provide data-driven ways to enhance workflows and improve team utilization. Next, we’ll review actionable insights about service mix and scheduling to increase productivity and reduce pain points such as wait time. Relevant to finance strategy, the dental industry is innovative and provides exciting options for capital expenditures, such as new equipment or office remodeling. We’ll illustrate how financial forecasts can strengthen decision-making and increase the ROI of practice investments.
