How much time is your practice losing? It’s an important question because if time is money, you need to keep track of where your time is going. Saving time means saving revenue! Do a time audit for a week and see exactly how many hours are being spent on various activities.
Where did the day go?
Ever had one of those days where the hours seemed to fly by but nothing was accomplished? You and your staff might already be dealing with this frequently. How much of your time is lost returning phone calls, tracking down no-shows, dealing with insurance companies and similar activities? You know those missing minutes should be spent acquiring new patients and treating current ones but suddenly, you don’t have the time!
Did you know takes almost 25 minutes to return to a task after being interrupted? Imagine how much time is lost whenever your office manager has to complete a pre-authorization or update a patient’s information. Now imagine getting all that time back – and the money that goes with it!
Is your practice spending time on the tasks most likely to increase revenue? If not, consider hiring a call service to take over certain tasks and watch your free time and revenue soar!
