The Advanced Practice

Some of the most challenging practices for me to work with are those that have moved beyond getting administrative systems nailed down, staff entry/performance and exit under control, regular repeating marketing and vision/transition set. These practices aspire to more. But the 'more' requires careful decisions. In a complex practice tinkering with success can have big consequences - some of them not desired. So we find that adequate time must be spent to evaluate a course of action before implementation. Some doctors that have grown a practice based on intuition and their own hard work find taking time to think through a planned objective and implementation constraining. Until, that is, they realize that the current practice has many staff, many many patients and lots of dollars on the line. Then the sobering reality hits that more care and attention is required not less to make sure a good result is achieved. I particularly like the great results that occur when larger practices plan well for their continued evolution!
