When it comes to running your practice, do you find yourself wishing things could run a bit more smoothly?

The good news is that there are several different things you can implement today to help make a much more cohesive team which will help to make the practice run much more smoothly.  Ash and Robert discuss their tips and tricks to help.

They talk about policies and procedures. Often times doctors feel this is unnecessary or too much of a headache to create. However, it eliminates questions within your staff and helps everyone get on the same page with expectations and what they can expect from working at your office. The last place you want to be is where people are making assumptions or are unsure.

They also discuss bonus structures. Again, this can feel like a cumbersome task, but is actually easier than many doctors think. Plus this can be an item that really brings a team together in one common goal. 

Another idea they have is goal setting with the office team, daily huddles to understand how those goals are being met, and how to create ways to help measure and track those goals. 

It can take a few extra steps to create all of these, but when you have a group of people understanding what they’re supposed to do, how they’re supposed to do it, and how they’re going to accomplish these things, it can create an extraordinary working environment.
