Can Treating Patients Stop Expansion?

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE OWNER TREATS PATIENTS.

This may seem to you as the right thing to do, I thought so myself, but like it or not SOMEONE has to be at the helm steering the ship. Like the captain who prefers to spend his time in the galley preparing 5-star meals while the ship runs aground, a practice owner who spends all of his time in the gym working with patients could similarly run his practice aground.

Most practice owners spend the majority of their time on what they knew how to do and have no worries in doing so and that is providing PT services. Unfortunately, the worries you experienced in private practice are never patient care related. They were usually administrative related.

Problems such as, “How do I increase the patient visits into the practice?” “Why am I carrying the majority of the patient load?” “What’s happening with the collections?” “How do I get those two staff members to knock it off and get to work?” These are everyday problems in private practice but I don’t think you commonly ask yourself, “How do I fix Bob Smith’s back condition?”

We have solutions for this at Measurable Solutions and our website can give you more information on this subject.
