The Digital Practice Analysis Tool By: Jake Meadows Director of US Career Development Henry Schein Dental “A problem well stated is a problem half solved.” –Charles F. Kettering To Charles Kettering’s point above, have you identified your issue(s)? I am a firm believer in knowing that properly identifying the concerns of your practice is the most important aspect of solving any potential problems. The team at Henry Schein Dental is eager to help you find out what your practice’s main challenges are and expose the objective points of data that will lead you toward the best solutions. Henry Schein Dental’s Business Discovery Surveys and the Digital Practice Analysis Tool allow us to gather important information about how to improve your practice’s overall performance. In 2009, we set out to effectively state and address the challenges that were affecting dentists across the country. In order to do so, we surveyed over 13,000 dentists. The results of this survey should not be a surprise to many of you because they represent common issues that you may be experiencing on a daily basis. The Results: Of course, a full detail of solutions to these issues above cannot be addressed without knowing the specifics of your practice. I can assure you that our sales team is prepared to help you find solutions to the most commonly identified problems in your practice. Our team participates in career development courses, which requires them to complete over 350 hours of dental business training. Using Henry Schein Dental’s offerings and tools, our sales force can help you identify your challenges and define solutions. We would like to start by sitting down with you, asking questions and most importantly, listening to your concerns. Today, we are helping our current and future customers uncover challenges and work toward actionable solutions. In over 10 years, we have mastered analyzing dental practices and have concentrated on creating tools to help you grow, sustain, or sell. One tool we are extremely proud of is the Digital Practice Analysis Tool (DPAT). By using a few pieces of information from your practice management software, we are able to show you how your policies and procedures are playing out in your practice. Of course, all the results are confidential. 2000 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 2009 EBDM Greatest Challenges sh ss h M PS ad el ts s y g r on Te c lin ve nt ie n nn re Ca tie he rm du no fT ur ui tE er AR Pa he Ha tin er Sc tP gh ra m cr gh or po ou Te a Re PT St en En Hi AP em No t In c M an ag To o M an af yP Ov SIDEKICK Spring 2010 Sidekick 55 Pa St so at g yr ol l
