Review
“May I congratulate you on well written weekly tips whose applicability is beyond question.
“I have purchased the book and have found it pertinent, logical, and entertaining.
“The book and your weekly tips should be intuitively obvious. However, the technical advances of modern medicine have, in many cases, overshadowed the qualities of a profession whose foundation was historically built on communication.
“It is because of the above that makes the acceptance of your approach elusive. Intelligence and common sense are not always intertwined. Their beneficial dependence on one another is seldom polished in medical school.
“The future of medicine depends on those social skills you attempt to perfect. I hope you rescue the profession in time.”
“With warmest regards, Norman Anderson, M.D., CEO, Robert Boissoneault Oncology Institute
Excerpts
Marketing: “You don’t need to spend $5,000 for a logo. You don’t need to spend $30,000 for a package of brochures, ads, mailers and fancy stationery. The most effective marketing methods you can use cost you little or nothing.”
Internet: “Even if you have no website, you have a web presence which hurts or help your practice. Your web presence includes your patients’ reviews, license information, age and other personal information. Fortunately, you can be the greatest influence on the size and quality of your web presence.”
Patient Management: “Many practice owners have doubled their profit simply by establishing or improving their patient-management systems. Their practices become well-organized operations where every potential problem is handled in advance. Every doctor and staff member follows the same steps and every patient is delighted.”
Staff Management: “Motivated employees do their best. They take responsibility, make good decisions, work hard, boost profits and reduce your stress. Skillful management motivates employees. In fact, employees often turn down higher paying jobs so they can stay with a great employer. They say, ‘I love my job. My boss is the greatest! I hope I never have to leave.'”
Profit: “As a healthcare provider, your main concern is your patients’ health. As a business owner, your main concern is profit. If you improve any of these five areas, you receive a significant boost to your bottom line. If you fail to calculate and manage the long-term effects of these five areas, you leave money on the table.”
The Practice of Your Dreams: “When you plan a vacation, you don’t start by examining the route. You start by choosing a destination. The route is more obvious when you focus on the goal. What is the most exciting destination you can imagine for yourself? What objective makes your heart pound? What is the practice of your dreams?”
