PATHWAY
TO PROFESSIONAL AND FINANCIAL SUCCESS
The
Telephone Conference Calls:
After the collected data has been reviewed and evaluated, and both parties have had the opportunity to get to know each other, a telephone conference call is set up between the doctor(s) and consultant(s). Several areas are covered during this call, which lasts about one hour. Some items dealt with are standard for all practices. They include such vital matters as patient recall and other marketing techniques that can be implemented almost immediately. Further, obvious problems are discussed and solutions suggested. In addition, any special concerns of the doctor can be addressed and dealt with at this time. Recommendations are then made for change and improvement; plans for action are prioritized, if necessary. This verbal interchange between doctor(s) and consultant(s) paves the way for the most important part of the consulting process, the on-site inspection of the facilities in which the doctor practices his or her profession.
