Mutual respect and a just culture at your practice can improve your reputation, patient gain, and patient retention. It's also important for patient safety and to mitigate practice risks. Check out the tips here on how you can cultivate a positive environment at your practice. "Imagine that a staff member can’t find a crucial test result but also can’t get anyone’s attention to discuss it, given competing pressing concerns. Even if your practice is small enough that a formal communication system feels excessive, consider implementing some systematic elements. This will help you in case of staffing disruption, emergency, safety issue, or potential interpersonal conflict. When practices formalize certain interactions, everyone does less improvising, and the practice moves closer to becoming a high-performance team." #Physicians #Doctors #Pediatricians #PediatricPractice #PhysicianPractice #MedicalPractice

Seeing patients on time helps ensure patient satisfaction and retention. Here are 10 tips to follow to become an on-time physician, be more productive, see more patients, and avoid the erosion of your income. "Develop a time management philosophy and make staff and patients aware of your desire to maximize your time during the office. It all starts with a commitment to being an on-time physician. The doctor must commit first to this concept and then obtain the commitment of the staff that being on time, becoming efficient, and being more productive is vital to the success of the practice. You can’t have a staff trying to be on time if the doctor(s) don’t embrace the same philosophy." #Physicians #Doctors #Pediatricians #PhysicianPractice #MedicalPractice #PediatricPractice
