Fair pay and then some: how to retain your staff.

It may be stating the obvious, but the bottom line is this: treat staff the way you would like to be treated yourself. Appreciate, respect, recognize and reward them. Behavior that is appreciated gets repeated. The easiest way to find out if your team is happy is to open up the channels of communication. Relieve yourself of the guesswork by asking them what they want. If you can't give them everything at once, you may be able to satisfy at least some of the items on their wish list. And when you address their needs and wants, you'll be rewarded with more loyalty and commitment than you'd ever have expected. You will be that "greener pasture" that the best and the brightest gravitate toward.

Hiring the best and the brightest.

Successful dentistry in the nineties demands a well-trained staff who are effective decision makers, team players and committed to excellence. The key to fulfilling this order begins with you, the dentist. It is incumbent on you to invest serious time and thought into the selection of staff. If you do so, you'll likely be surrounded by people who will turn your vision into reality. If you don't, you'll be caught in a staffing quagmire, and your practice vision will remain all-elusive.

Getting patients to say yes: effective case presentations.

Getting patients to say yes to recommended treatment requires the dedication of each team member. It demands a commitment to educating patients and motivating them to turn their dental needs into dental wants, as well as providing financial options to make treatment affordable. When the dental team takes the time to nurture the case presentation process, the results can be dramatic. Patients embrace treatment and the practice provides it. It is nothing short of a win-win scenario.

Designing better dentistry: the ergonomic approach.

The ergonomic dental office is designed around the people who work there on a daily basis as well as the patients it serves. Because it is attractive, functional, esthetic and comfortable, it cultivates happy, productive dental teams and relaxed, contented patients. An ergonomic office enables people to move about freely, with easy access to the materials and equipment they need. And it encourages staff to take pride in their jobs, an activity that occupies more than half of their waking hours. In other words, the ergonomic office is not a luxury; it's an essential.

Plugging into technology.

One of the most important things to consider before buying a computer is use. Where and how will you use your computer? At home (to do household budgeting, some word processing, and play games?), or at the office (to balance complex budgets, calculate payroll, keep a large database of clientele, and possibly have up to 16 users on the system at the same time?). Will you want to integrate your system with imaging, voice response charting and EDI? (The brilliance of EDI alone justifies automation.) Keep in mind that what you do with a computer will probably expand as you get more familiar with the technology, so make sure there's room for growth in the computer you select. Another important aspect to purchasing a computer is service. The company you buy from must be able to provide you with prompt service, and be available when you first explore the realm of microcomputing. If you manage to save money on the purchase price, but it takes six months to have your office computer repaired, you have definitely lost out in the long run.

Making every minute count: effective time management.

Managing ourselves and putting first things first. That's the essence of fourth-wave time management. It's about prioritizing, organizing with set priorities in mind and finding the discipline to achieve these goals. If you and your team can master this, the important, not the urgent, will dictate how you use your time.
