It is important that you and your team feel confident with technology. I asked one business assistant if she has a CD ROM Drive on her computer. If you want to receive a return on your investment, I suggest you use your computer to the maximum and while you re doing so, take the opportunity to use in-office continuing education CD ROMS for the benefits of your practice, your staff and most importantly, your patients who are the beneficiaries of your knowledge. Keep on the leading edge of dentistry today, and utilize your in-office training opportunities with the help of the latest technology available. Evaluating the Team I do not believe that dentists take enough time to evaluate their team on a regular basis.
Evaluations don t have to be a negative experience.
It s also a great opportunity to ask them what motivates them, what courses are they interested in taking to further their dental knowledge and to keep up to date. You may have someone in your practice who is bored with assisting and would enjoy the challenge of becoming a Treatment Coordinator. Your hygienist may want to spend more time educating the patients and become more involved using the computer simulation system to introduce a smile analysis. There is often a lot of untapped potential in dental practices. Evaluation the Practice.
