DESIGNING YOUR PERFECT DENTAL PRACTICE: FOUNDATIONS OF CLINICAL SUCCESS shows
how today's dentist can design their own future, establish a philosophy to make
it come true, then translate that philosophy into practical, usable business
management solutions.
The result is an easy-to-read, straightforward guide equally as valuable for
the recent graduate as the veteran looking to put their practice into prime,
resalable form. Hislop involves the reader by telling the fictitious story of a
fellow dentist, Steve, who is simply overwhelmed and seeing his practice and
life approaching toward a crisis point. Steve is skillfully interwoven into the
nonfiction material, adding insight and some levity to the excellent text.
What other benefits can result from applying Hislop's guidelines? More
efficient operations, better patient outcomes, higher profits, reduction in
malpractice risk, true quality control on referrals, clear communication between
doctors and their staff, better staff relations, faster patient service, better
patient compliance and retention, outstanding practice growth, piece of mind
that the practice philosophy is understood and followed, no patients "lost to
recall" or "lost to referral," establishes an environment with which managed
care can't compete, and increased referrals for specialists.
