Basic practice management systems. Part II of the dental management pyramid series.
Mastering basic management systems is the first of six levels in the Dental Management Pyramid that determines the future direction of your practice. It is important to avoid the temptation to move from one level to the next until you have addressed all aspects of the current level. All too often, dentists attempt to move up the pyramid without completing each level, leaving incomplete management in other areas. Business systems allow for the highest level of profitability, the lowest stress, and the most enjoyment for you and your team members. They serve as the very foundation on which you build your successful dental practice. In the next installment of this series, leadership skills and team development will be discussed.
