Practice Health Assessment

Practice Health Assessment

Like your Comprehensive Oral Evaluation of a patient, a PHA provides a thorough exam and treatment plan for your business. It evaluates all aspects of your practice and enables you to determine the areas that are working and the areas that could be improved.

Practice Strategy

From a business perspective, revenue is a must so you can pay your bills, offer team incentives and plan for retirement. The PHA certainly looks at your production/collection and compares it to the industry norms and shows where opportunities are in your dental practice. The PHA goes further and assesses team dynamics, drama, teamwork, cohesiveness, roles and responsibilities, leadership, vision and future plans.

The assessment will include a customized program (no obligation) that will address your individual needs. It will look at the following areas to better understand how your dental practice would benefit so you can make changes and have a strategic plan: 

• Vision - your personalized plan and vision for your practice (partnerships, associates, moving, building, retirement, etc.)
• Review Team Dynamics - the right people in the right positions working effectively
• Team Interviews - confidentially conducted to determine areas of enhancement
• Increase Revenue - generate the same revenue in less hours, be more efficient, and work smarter not harder
• Patient Base and Demographics - measure capacity, new patients, attrition, and patient retention
• Marketing Plan - get insight on how well your internal and external marketing is performing
• Scheduling - evaluate the use of your most important asset, TIME 
• Financials - determine the health of accounts receivable, statements, billing, collecting co-pays up front, outstanding accounts, patient financial arrangements, PPO’s and insurance participation and adjustments
• Break-Even Point - determine the amount of money you need to pay your expenses and pay yourself
• Hygiene Team - evaluate hygiene team production, individual production, hygiene protocols, perio program and recare systems
• Treatment Planning - understand the effectiveness of your process
• Clinical Areas - organization of operatories, lab cases, equipment, maintenance, technology plans, sterilization and computer effectiveness
