195: Improving Your Intake Forms

4/2/2024
Over time, we end up accumulating random questionnaires, surveys, and evaluations to include as part of our new patient intake process. And while each one provides another perspective on what might be going on, this isn’t the best experience for your patient who is already overwhelmed and in need of your help. Having to think through and complete each intake form may feel ‘comprehensive’ to you but to the patient, it’s overkill. Not to mention the time it takes for you to review all of them and try to make sense of the information before seeing your patient for the first time. Working on your intake forms might not be the most appealing thing to do – but trust me, when they include the right kind of questions, it makes your job so much easier and lets your patient’s know that you are serious about getting to the root of their issue. And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about in this podcast. From demographic information to medical history, lifestyle habits, and beyond, I’ll explain how to design an intake form that provides a comprehensive overview of your patients' health and sets the stage for personalized care. So pull up a chair, grab a pen and paper, and let’s give your intake forms a makeover! In this episode you’ll hear: 👉 Why having fewer forms is a better option for your patients. 👉 How to streamline and optimize your new patient intake process. 👉 Key questions and sections to include in your intake form to get the best information possible. 👉 Practical tips for incorporating your new forms into your new patient flow.

194: When Something's Not Working, It's Time For a Do Over Day

3/26/2024
Sometimes, we just miss the mark. The best laid plans just didn’t work out the way you thought and now, you need to figure out how to do it differently. This process is what I like to call a Do Over Day. 🎯 A 'Do Over Day' gives you the opportunity to build something even better when the gears of your business seem to be grinding against each other. It's like a strategic pause, allowing you to step back, assess, and recalibrate your approach. Think of it as a reset button, but with a structured plan for how to move forward. So, what exactly does a 'Do Over Day' entail? Let's break it down into four essential parts: Step 1: Identify the Successes Begin by acknowledging what worked well. Celebrate the wins, regardless of how big or small. Step 2: Recognize the Failures Mistakes are inevitable, especially in business. It’s important to acknowledge where we missed the mark and use the experience to shape how we move forward. Step 3: Creating a Different Plan Now that you have information about your successes and failures, it's time to redesign what you want to do differently next time. Step 4: Your Non-Negotiables Lastly, it’s important to identify your non-negotiables. These are the things you are not willing to give up or compromise on. A 'Do Over Day' allows you to take a step back and re-evaluate any situation from a neutral perspective, helping you to take control of your business, making it work for you, rather than the other way around. ✅ In this episode you’ll learn how to: 👉 Identify what's working and what isn't in your business. 👉 Stay curious without judging the situation 👉 Define your non-negotiables 👉 Implement your own Do Over Day LINKS: 📧 Email support@rondanelson.com to get the ‘Do Over Day’ worksheet ➡️ Share your experience hiring a Virtual Receptionist here! 💥 Learn more about Clinical Business Academy! 🌟 Rate and review us on your fave listening platform. 📹 Watch this episode here!

193: Protecting Your Time: How to Separate Functional Medicine Appts. with Dr. Katie Malley

3/19/2024
Let’s say you are a chiropractor and a patient comes in for a routine adjustment. But during that appointment, they conveniently ask if you can quickly muscle test a certain supplement or review their labs and make a few suggestions before they go see their primary doctor. Combining these two things rarely works out well. The patient doesn’t get the focused attention they need and you, the practitioner, aren’t able to provide the best care possible because your brain is effectively focused on two things at once which is never a good thing. And that’s exactly what Dr. Katie Malley discovered after she and I were strategizing about how to optimize her practice. During our meeting, when I heard how frustrated and overwhelmed she felt, even though she was doing something she truly loved - I asked her these two questions: “If you could change one thing in your business, regardless of whether you think it’s possible or not, what would it be? What is the proverbial ‘rock in your shoe’ that’s making you so uncomfortable and causing so much irritation?” And she knew what it was right away. It was the physical and mental exhaustion of allowing patients to combine two completely different appointments into one. This was leaving her feeling drained, overwhelmed, and exhausted at the end of the day. So, she removed the figurative rock from her shoe, separated her appointments into chiropractic only and functional medicine only, and has never looked back. In this podcast episode, Dr. Katie is sharing exactly how she did it, the obstacles she had to overcome when communicating her new model to her patients, and the surprising outcome! She now has a practice that went from overwhelming chaos to streamlined efficiency. 💯 Dr. Katie ended up discovering her niche, manages her time like a pro, and has created a practice that not only thrives but leaves her feeling energized and fulfilled at the end of the day. 🤍 By separating her chiropractic and nutrition appointments, Katie found greater clarity, reduced stress, and improved patient outcomes. Listen in to learn how setting clear boundaries can transform your practice and revitalize your passion for healing. ❤️‍🩹 In this episode you’ll hear: 👉 Why having a niche is soooooo important. 👉 How to avoid doing two things at once and being mediocre at both. 👉 The benefits of setting clear boundaries with patients. 👉 Strategies for managing different modalities effectively. 👉 How to create a practice that works for you first, not your patients.

191: How to Leverage Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s) in Your Practice

3/5/2024
Health savings accounts (HSA’s) have been around for years and offer people a way to set aside funds for qualified medical expenses and decrease their tax burden. Not everyone qualifies for an HSA but if you do, it can be an easy way for you (or your patients) to help save for health expenses. And, these HSA’s can provide huge benefits for you, your patients, and for your business! Personally, I’ve had an HSA for many years, and I love it. Not only does it lower my taxable income at the end of the year, but I have money set aside for health-related expenses including chiropractic, vision, dental care, and band aids. Random I know, but true! Since your patients are already paying to see you, they might as well pay from an HSA and enjoy the added tax benefits. If you haven't considered incorporating HSAs into your practice yet, you might be missing out on a golden opportunity to provide added value to your patients while optimizing your bottom line. 💡 In this episode you’ll hear: 👉 How incorporating HSAs into your practice can enhance patient care and financial stability. 👉 Strategies to educate your patients about the benefits of HSAs and maximize their utilization. 👉Practical steps to integrate HSA payments seamlessly into your practice and boost revenue.

189: Fill Your Schedule Using a Nurture Email Series

2/20/2024
Sending regular emails to your patients is an important part of what you do as a practitioner and a business owner. Why? Well, it lets your audience know that you’re around to help, and keeps your name (and smiling face) at the top of their minds. 🤩 But if you're like most practitioners, the mere thought of having to figure out how to write and send these types of emails makes you roll your eyes. 🙄 I get it – writing emails might not be your favorite thing, but here's the deal: neglecting this aspect of your business could mean a significant loss of $$$ as patients simply drift away because they stopped hearing from you. Whenever you can create these types of regular connection points with your patients, they are more likely to reach out for help when they need it, rather than looking for someone new. So if you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry – I've got a simple plan to help you get started. 💫 Sending regular emails is not about bombarding them with information they can’t understand or always trying to sell them something; it's about providing consistent value and deepening the relationship. 🤝 In this episode, you'll learn how to create engaging content, from choosing topics that help them get better, faster results to adding in a little of your own personal flair. And don't worry if you’re feeling overwhelmed – I've got your back. 😉 In this episode you’ll hear: 👉 How sending regular nurture emails helps you stay top of mind. 👉 Strategies to create valuable and engaging content for your patients. 👉 Technical tips for setting up and managing your email campaigns. 👉 Strategies for maintaining consistency and connection with your audience.

187: Leading with Confidence: The Mindset Shift that will Completely Change How You Talk to Potential Patients

2/6/2024
When you’re talking with a potential new patient, what does that conversation look like? Are you giving them answers that come from a place of “need” (as in you really want them to say yes to working with you) or is your conversation more about determining whether they will be a good fit in your culture and practice? The truth is, you don’t have to take every potential new patient that comes your way. When you have that first meeting or initial conversation, this is when you come to the fork in the road: are you going to invite them to work with you or suggest that there’s a better fit for them somewhere else. Ultimately, you’re the gatekeeper of your practice. Just because someone wants your help doesn’t mean they’ll be a good fit for you, and that’s okay. You have the right to say “No” if they won’t be a good fit. Because there’s nothing worse than working with someone who doesn’t want to be there. 😬 Today, I want to open the conversation with a new possibility - one that puts you in a decision-making position, not them. We want YOU to make the choice whether you want to work with someone or not, not the other way around. It’s time to change your mindset from one of ‘desperation, meaning you’ll work with anyone - to one that allows you to find and align with people who are on the same page and truly want what you have to offer. So, let’s take the complexity out of this delicate dance and give the power back to who really has it - you! In this episode you’ll hear: 👉 How to shift from a mindset of desperation to one of discernment. 👉 Strategic questions to ask potential patients that address both logic and emotion. 👉 Ways to transition the conversation from head-centered logic to heart-centered feelings. 👉 How you’ll know if a patient is the right fit for your practice.
