I know what you think when you hear the word “training:” a stuffy conference room, a binder of worksheets and a boring PowerPoint. It doesn’t have to be that way. As a trainer with 20 years or experience, I make it my goal to ensure doctors and staff not only get the most out of their training but that they’re actually excited about my visit to their practice.
How do you know if you need training in your practice? If any of the following topics apply to you then you could benefit from in-office training: new employees; security; you just don’t feel your numbers are adding up correctly; clean-up; insurance management; you have an associate, i.e., are their numbers correct; you are ready to go chartless; you are thinking of selling you practice.
A successful training session starts before I even set foot in the office. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule onsite training.
Doctors understand that investing in advanced technology pays off for their practice, patients and staff; onsite training is no different. Training shouldn’t be seen as a dreaded obligation, but an investment in the future of your practice. Only when staff are well-trained in the ins and outs of practice management software can the technology really be used to its full potential. With onsite training that’s tailored to your practice’ needs and schedule, there’s no excuse not to contact a trainer. I promise, I’ll leave the binder of boring worksheets and PowerPoint slides at home.
