Documenting Protocols, Reviewing Statements, Implementing the Agile Approach: a Few Life-Saving Tips

This week I’m flying solo again. I share some practical tips that have helped me in my practice in the hope that you will feel prompted to make some changes as well. First I talk about why I find documenting my protocols very important. All these steps are very intuitive now, but I got a lot out of just writing them down and sharing them with other people. I also really think you should take a look at your credit card statements once in a while, because you might discover automatic payments that you completely forgot about. Finally, I am currently looking at implementing the agile methodology in my practice. If you’ve already done that, I’d really appreciate your feedback. You can email me at drkirk@businessofdentistrypodcast.com.
