Assessment for personal and professional success.

This article provides two assessment strategies to help dental professionals determine how close they are to achieving total success in their personal life and dental practice. Total success is defined as achieving and balancing success in three categories: physical health, financial health, and emotional health. By rating answers to questions on a scale from 1 to 5, the reader can determine the level of success they have attained in the various areas of their personal life and in their dental practice. This information may be useful in identifying those areas that need improvement to achieve total and balanced success. Interpretation of the scores and strategies to develop those areas requiring improvement are discussed.

Managing practice statistics for practice success.

The incorporation of computers into the dental practice has enabled the dentist and staff to quickly access information vital to monitoring practice growth and vitality. Despite the fact this information is available at the click of a mouse, the information available to the dentist and staff is often ignored. Even if an effort is made to assess the data, the dental team is clueless on how to use it to control changing economics in the practice. This is accomplished by charting statistical data collected by the dentist and staff. Compilation of this data enables the dentist and staff to recognize trends that will affect the growth and profitability of the practice and develop strategies that reinforce positive trends and reverse negative trends. This paper discusses the value of using data as a tool for practice management.
