By Editor, Concierge Medicine Today   It has been a minute since my wife and I watched Mad Men.   I still remember a few quotes, though. I recall Roger Sterling's sage marketing and business advice (above) with ease.   Unrelated, my wife and our close family friends recalled just last week how we found Betty, a fun character with a few quirky phrases of her own pretty memorable as well.   Remember when her son Bobby said, "I'm bored."   She replied, "Go bang your head against a wall...Only boring people are bored."   It was not great motherly advice, but her character was entertaining, to say the least.   Back on point: According to a new report published by the American Medical Association, between 2012 and 2022, the share of physicians working in private practices decreased by 13 percentage points — from 60.1% to 46.7%.   Additionally, Slate.com wrote, 'Doctors who run practices are essentially business owners, but many have never learned to manage a staff.'   Fierce Healthcare reported that 'Medical graduate students are at a disadvantage when they don't get trained on the business elements of medical practice.'   Finally, Harvard Business Review writes, 'Most physicians have been trained to keep emotion out of the job, and are not comfortable showing vulnerability in the workplace.'   READ FULL STORY | INFOGRAPHIC ...   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

She pursued a career in medicine to give back to her community and provide that same level of care to patients in need.

She entered Direct Primary Care to take back control of how she practices medicine while enhancing patient access and prioritizing the patient-physician relationship.   Office Phone: 217-858-3356   Email: info@bewellhealth.care   Web Site: https://bewellhealth.care   Dr. Wells sees patients of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of health.

Pre-Orders Only — On Sale Now (% Discount Expires May 31, 2024) - On Sale $14.95 Original Price:$24.99     Release/Ship Date: May 31, 2024 (or sooner, if possible!)   How do your patients feel, really?   We’re not talking about their physical symptoms. We’re talking about their feelings.   Squishy right?   Patients walk into your practice each day with two things: feelings and needs. Typically, the Doctor is amazing at meeting the patient’s physical needs. However, feelings are just as important.   Consider how the patient felt when they waited on hold to make an appointment after navigating an overly complicated phone tree. How did they feel when no one remembered their name when they checked in? How did they feel when the clipboard of forms was given to them again? Or, how did they feel when they were escorted to the exam room, the door closed, and they were left alone with no ETA about when the Doctor would arrive? And how did they feel when your team helped them check out and didn’t explain the bill?   Every patient will leave with a feeling about you and your practice. In today’s rushed and impersonal healthcare environment, patients’ feelings and subsequent actions and reactions are born from their experiences. Think about your last five online reviews. When the patient spent 27 minutes waiting in an empty seating area with no updates from the personnel who sat just ten feet away, gossiping about their coworkers and making endless phone calls, how does that make them feel? When the doctor kept forgetting their name, how did that experience make them feel?   Patients are burning out. I know this because I am a Patient. We all are. We’re feeling unwelcomed, disrespected, rushed, ignored, and undervalued. Most medical office leaders would blame it on bureaucracy, insurance hassles, and busyness and cross their arms, ignore the awkward feelings patients get, and move on with their day. Few are willing to try something different and make the patient feel like they’re at home here.   Fortunately, even science backs us up on this. According to Harvard professor Gerald Zaltman, “95% of purchase decision-making takes place in the subconscious mind”. So, in essence, our emotions drive purchasing behavior and our decision-making 95% of the time. This means that if you and your medical office team are not habitually paying attention to a patient's feelings throughout the entire journey, from start to finish, patients will go elsewhere. Chances are they’ll find someone who pays attention to all the little details that make them feel a certain way about their healthcare beyond the doctor meeting their needs.   Let me be clear: this book does not advocate removing all waiting rooms from our healthcare culture. In many areas, they’re necessary. But we need to do more about addressing the small habits medical offices have become accustomed to under the business of busyness and hiding behind the excuse of “Well, that’s how we’ve always done it.” For patients in today's healthcare culture, the most challenging part is not the actual waiting but when we feel that the medical staff and our Doctors have forgotten about us and don’t meet our expectations. We get a feeling when we’re on the other side of you and your team.   Like it or not, this is a marketing book, but not in the traditional sense. Old-school marketing tells customers (i.e., patients) that you control the message. Today, that theory doesn’t hold water. Today, new school marketing, especially in healthcare settings, says, “The customers (i.e., patients) inform others about you.” This is where feelings get involved, and a simple appointment can turn into a remarkable and memorable story for patients who will tell others about you and your team. You see, it’s about the front office staff talking with the patients until the insurance benefits and bills are really understood. It’s about the smile from the nurse and the conversation about your kids in the exam room while you’re stepping onto the scale. Every Patient who leaves your practice will tell someone else a story. What you and your team do throughout the entire patient journey helps each person “feel” like they really matter to you. It’s gratitude and servanthood in healthcare at its best.   Embracing concierge medicine, doctors and their medical offices plan for, prepare for, and follow habits in their practice that create a meaningful connection with their patients. Patients get a feeling about these practices, and inside this book, we’ll share some of those stories.   "Hospitality is a process, but the patient should never feel processed,” says Tetreault. “Unfortunately, that’s just how it is. We cannot accept that. This new customer service book (and a little marketing) is designed to inform doctors and medical office personnel about better preparing today to exceed patient expectations tomorrow. It will identify everyday healthcare customer service dilemmas and help you and your team navigate the switchbacks and speedbumps so you can lead the patient where you want them to go without that awkward feeling. The ultimate destination isn’t a satisfied patient. It’s a raving storyteller who leaves your practice feeling like 'I feel cared for. I feel seen. I feel heard and I feel like they ALL care about me!'"   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

When decision-makers in healthcare are approached with sound advice, but it arrives at their front door from a source "outside" healthcare, why is it so quickly dismissed?   One might say, "I don't want anyone telling me how to practice medicine?"   The advice may have nothing to do with what happens inside the exam room, but it is about how your staff communicates with your patients in such a way that makes the Patient feel like an inconvenience.   Today, I want to unpack something you may have learned about in your undergraduate studies. It's called the genetic fallacy.   The genetic fallacy is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone dismisses an argument or idea based on its origins or history rather than evaluating the concept on its own merits, not the source. This fallacy assumes that something must be either true or false based on who and where it came from rather than being judged based on its qualities.   For example, a hospital administrator might reject an idea from a Physician simply because it was suggested by someone they don't like or someone with a history of making unpopular suggestions without carefully considering the proposal's strengths and weaknesses. Sound familiar?   Alternatively, a medical practice might continue to invest in a SaaS, EMR, or outdated process because it has always done so. However, whether it is still the best course of action today still needs to be examined.     © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.
