Dental Practice Management is most often ignored thinking that Dental Practice will and will just go on its way and can keep on moving alone. The administration, financial and the whole system will just stabilize by itself, No foundation, no walls, no roof, there’s nothing to depend on. All visions are transparent. One wind can make it all fall down.
The foundation of a Dental Practice does not depend from the actual revenues or total number of patients coming in. Although the higher the revenue and total number patients implies good practice, it does not assure the stability of its foundation. One mistakes and it will end up all to nothing. The most reliable way to bank on is to make a strong foundation, put walls and roof for protection. Something that will support the system and can stand against any chaos, expected and the unexpected one.
How do we make it then? First, we have to establish our Objectives and limits, second the target and the vision, and lastly the system. If you have all these things, no matter how hard life is and whenever you open eyes each morning you know you can always count on what you have established.
Dental practice is never easy because of the responsibility you have over your patients. Trust and credibility are proven foundations in this business where dental health is an issue. Having both of these will make you a sure-hit in this industry. But it doesn't come easy; one should earn it. :)
