Does your practice need a thorough health check? Are there issues in your healthcare business that you’re aware of, but you’re not sure what the source is or how to resolve them? Maybe there are areas causing even bigger issues that aren’t yet on your radar? Or perhaps some opportunities you’re not capitalising on? A health check - or Current State Review - might be just what the doctor ordered! We’ll tailor your CSR to your practice and your goals, identify those underlying issues and providing answers. We can even help your team to implement the solutions. Your comprehensive CSR Report will cover: 💡 Underlying performance issues. 💡 Cost saving and efficiency improvement opportunities. 💡 Cultural issues. 💡 Opportunities for growth and expansion. 💡 Strategies to address/capitalise on all the above! Just as you encourage your patients to have regular check-ups, it can really pay to give the business side of your practice a thorough top to toe!

Do you feel pressured by expectations you’ll generate ‘strategy’ and be ‘strategic’? It's common for people to overthink where strategy and being strategic fits into what they do. Strategy doesn’t have to be complex to be effective! It comes down to: 1. Identifying your goal – big or small. 2. Clearly defining the details of the goal and what achieving it will look like - making it SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-based). 3. Working out the series of actions needed along the way – in order, by whom and when. 4. Coordinating the actions and keeping everyone in the loop and accountable. Helping our clients identify their goals and take a strategic approach to achievement – supported by a clearly mapped out Action Plan - is one of our favourite projects! If you’d like assistance from the Augmentum team with identifying and driving goal achievement in your practice, check out what we do and how we work with our healthcare clients - https://lnkd.in/gPiFAcf. #Strategy #HealthcareLeader #GoalSetting

With rising costs, like many healthcare clinicians and practices, you may be looking to review your fees 💲✔ For many practices, it can be hard to separate out emotion when it comes to money and what to charge for healthcare services.

Are you using your training time investment to help develop/refine resources like your practice manual? Undoubtedly, you and your team invest a lot of time and energy in each new starter. And it’s often at a time when you’re short-staffed – the reason you’re expanding the team… To capitalise on the time spent plus prepare your new team member to perform the role, the training process can present an excellent opportunity to review your training resources and practice or admin manual! Most new starters make lots of notes in their early days. If you don’t already have a manual, their training can include typing these notes. Reviewing what they create, you’ll also spot gaps in their knowledge. If you already have written content, the trainee can be running through this as they’re being trained, and together you can ensure the content reflects the most up-to-date way you do things. The result will be a trained staff member, plus a refined practice manual 🚀 For more healthcare HR management tips and tricks, follow this link https://lnkd.in/g4BSXTWT #HRManagement #HealthcareLeaders #Documentation

Thinking about starting your own practice? Here’s some feedback from one of our Practice Start-Up clients about our work together on setting up her new GP clinic… “The Augmentum team have been great to work with on my business concept and plan development project. They helped me flesh out what I wanted my new practice to be, and what’s needed across all areas of the business to make it that. The Action Plan means I’ve got direction and focus, plus feel like I’m really on top of what I need to do. And they’re now helping me to stay on track to opening my new practice in 2 months’ time!” We love these new practice projects! We get to help our clients design and create exactly the practice they want, plus set them up for future success and goal achievement.

A little self-discipline goes a long way, especially when it comes to achieving your goals. How about making some time this weekend to review your goals? Rather than prioritising your business, we suggest working on your personal goals first, then your business/professional based on how these will support achieving your goals. Then, pick one goal and flesh out the actionable steps you need to take to achieve it – working backwards from the result you're seeking often helps. Next is self-discipline: commit regular time to work on those steps! Chipping away and regularly revisiting your goals will help you stay on track to achieve them, plus help to keep you motivated because you’ll see results, making all that self-discipline worthwhile 💡😊 #Discipline #HealthcareLeaders #BusinessSuccess
