Riding out the recession

Almost every practice has a layer of fat in it that may not matter too much in good times:

  • Doctors who aren’t as productive as they should be
  • Support staff who really should have been let go years ago
  • Inventory costs that are a little out of control.

But since the practice is making money, owners live with it.

This doesn’t work in poor economic times. Declining revenue and profitability will force you to deal with these issues.

Use the Exam Room benchmarking tools to see how your practice is doing and where you need to focus your efforts. Be sure and review the Recommended Treatment sections for suggestions for change. The communications module will also help you improve your efforts in conveying the value of what you do to your clients.
