Streamline Your Practice with an Efficient Recall Program

9/30/2024

Today, I’m excited to dive into our Practice Reactivations Bootcamp and discuss a key aspect of running a successful practice: reactivating and maintaining connections with your patients. As practitioners, we understand that life gets busy—especially during certain times of the year like school season—and it’s easy for patients to deprioritize their self-care. But that’s where we come in.

For almost 25 years, I’ve seen firsthand how patients, even those who’ve been with us for years, can get overwhelmed and neglect their regular care. Sometimes, all they need is a little nudge. It used to be that we’d make phone calls or send letters, but these days, we have a much faster and more efficient way to reconnect with patients: automation.

That’s why I developed the Practice Suite, a system that takes less than 10 minutes a week to manage your recall program, even for practices seeing hundreds of patients weekly. This is perfect for practices that want to cut admin work while ensuring no one slips through the cracks when life gets hectic.

Why Recalls Are Essential
A recall or reactivation system is vital because it helps you stay connected with patients when life inevitably takes over. It allows you to provide that essential "check-in" without you needing to personally reach out every time. This level of care strengthens your relationship with your patients and keeps them engaged with their wellness journey. Whether you have a boutique-style practice or a larger one, having a recall system in place ensures that your patients get the care they need, even when they’re too busy to think about it.

The Power of Automation
Our Practice Suite is designed to simplify your practice by automating key tasks like recalls, nurturing new leads, and following up with current patients. By consolidating all patient communications—whether it’s through social media, email, or text—into one simple platform, you can manage your practice more efficiently without hiring additional staff.

This system doesn’t replace your EHR but works alongside it. From social media to text messages, email blasts to even voicemail and fax, Practice Suite helps you connect with patients before, during, and after their visits, all while ensuring HIPAA compliance. We protect your time, energy, and money—and that of your patients, too.

Recalls Made Easy
Our recall workflow is one of six core automations in the Practice Suite. It’s designed to seamlessly keep in touch with patients in a way that’s easy for both you and them. For example, rather than waiting for a patient to call to book an appointment, you can send a simple text. They can respond with a single digit to confirm or reschedule. This reduces friction and ensures you’re always at the top of their mind when it comes to their self-care.

In our Practice Reactivations Bootcamp, we’ll show you how to build this system in just three weeks. By the end of the boot camp, you’ll have a fully functioning recall system that runs almost entirely on autopilot.

Let’s Simplify Your Practice Together
If you're ready to streamline your practice, protect your time, and give your patients the care they deserve, join us in the Practice Reactivations Bootcamp. We’ll show you exactly how to set up an effective recall system that will keep your patients coming back, even when life gets busy.

Cut Admin Time and Boost Patient Engagement

9/23/2024

Hello, practitioners! I’m Dr. Jodi Dinnerman, the founder and creator of Staffless Practice. My mission is simple: to help you cut admin time in half while doubling patient visits—without wasting time on what doesn’t work. One key to success? Knowing when to implement a system versus hiring more staff.
The Power of Systems Over People
Too often, practitioners think they need more staff to handle admin tasks, when in reality, a system would be more efficient. Use automation for the routine tasks, and save your team’s talents for the personal connections that matter most with your patients.
Automation shines in areas like:
  • Managing patient communications
  • Streamlining administrative tasks
  • Enhancing patient engagement
Your goal should be to let your team focus on their "zone of genius," and allow systems to handle the repetitive work.
Reactivation Automation: A Game-Changer
Let’s dive into my two favorite automations for reactivations—what we also call "recalls." Reactivating patients who have fallen off the schedule doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Here's a strategy that works wonders:
  • Unscheduled Patient Report: Once a month, we start by pulling a report of unscheduled patients from our practice management software. I personally use Jane App, but whatever EHR system you use should provide a similar feature. Scan the report for accuracy (don’t text someone you just saw in the grocery store!), and then move forward with reactivations.
  • Automated Text Messages: We send a simple, personalized text that gives patients three options to respond with:
  1. Schedule an appointment
  2. Continue their break from care
  3. Be removed from the recall list
Most of the time, we get a flood of 1’s back. Patients appreciate the simplicity and convenience of responding with a single text.
Voicemail Drops and Emails for a Personal Touch
To make the process even smoother, we use voicemail drops and emails as part of the recall system. A voicemail drop is a pre-recorded message that pops up on the patient’s phone without their phone ringing. It might say something like, “Hey, it’s Dr. Jodi! I just sent you a text—please respond when you get a chance.” Pair that with a follow-up email, and all roads lead back to that text message, creating multiple gentle nudges that encourage reactivation.
Using Automation Workflows in Your Practice Suite
One of the best tools I use is Practice Suite. This all-in-one platform allows you to manage texts, emails, and even social media messages from one dashboard. By setting up an automated workflow, you can tag patients for recalls, and the system handles the rest—emails, texts, and voicemail drops—all based on how patients respond. You can even schedule follow-ups if they choose to take a break from care.
The Beauty of Simplicity
This system frees up your time and energy while keeping your patients engaged. Imagine how easy it is for your patients to respond with a quick text and get back on your schedule. Protect your time and theirs, while maintaining a high level of care and connection.
Join Our Reactivation Bootcamp
If you want to master your reactivation process, we’re starting a Reactivate Your Patients Bootcamp in October! We’ll walk you through setting up your recall system step-by-step, so you can “set it and forget it.” To join, just drop “Bootcamp” in the comments or message me directly.

With the right systems in place, you can spend less time on admin work and more time doing what you love: providing excellent care for your patients.

Hey, practice owners! Today, I'm sharing my top tool for growing a chiropractic practice with efficiency and joy—two essentials for any thriving business. Let me introduce you to the concept of the Flywheel! 
What is the Flywheel? 🤔
The flywheel represents a continuous cycle of nurturing your practice members through various offers, each step building on the previous one. It’s about creating a seamless journey that makes your patients feel valued and understood at every stage. This approach not only helps you grow your practice but ensures you do it with ease.
The Perfect Practice Member 🎯
First things first—you need to get clear on who your perfect practice member is. This is the person your practice is built for. They should walk into your office and feel like, "Wow, this place was made for me!" Knowing your ideal client makes all your efforts more effective.
Building Your Flywheel: Step by Step 📈
Offer One: The Freebie 🎁 Start by offering something free that’s valuable to your audience. This could be:
A 12-step guide to improved flexibility after pregnancy
A free Facebook group for local moms
An ebook on how to prevent injuries while staying active
This is where you begin nurturing your community.
Offer Two: The Low Ticket Item 💸 Now that they’ve engaged with your free offer, it’s time for something affordable—under $100. Think:
  • A paid membership to a support group for new moms
  • A workshop on maintaining flexibility
  • A low-cost initial consultation
Offer Three: The High-Value Offer 🌟 This is where you introduce your main service, such as:
  • A care plan or chiropractic package
  • A high-end wellness event
  • A comprehensive health protocol
Each step leads naturally to the next, nurturing your practice members at every point in their journey.
Set It and Forget It 🛠️
The beauty of the flywheel is that it’s automated. You can set up workflows that guide your clients from offer to offer, using texts, emails, and even voicemail drops to keep them engaged. Imagine setting up a system that runs itself while you focus on providing excellent care! 💆‍♂️💻
Protect Your Time & Energy ⏳
Most of us are juggling so many tasks, from patient care to managing the business. The flywheel helps protect your time, energy, and money—not just for you but also for your practice members. You’re able to deliver a consistent experience without feeling overwhelmed.
Ready to Workshop Your Flywheel? 💡
We’re holding a Flywheel Workshop this Thursday in the Staffless Practice Club! If you want to create your own flywheel, join us! The club is $89 a month, but you can get a free month to check out this workshop. Just drop the word "club" below to join.

Growing Your Practice Without Staff

9/9/2024

Hello!
As practitioners, we're often faced with the challenge of expanding our practice without the support of a dedicated team. Whether by choice or circumstance, operating without staff doesn't mean you can't continue to grow and serve your ideal clients effectively. By leveraging the right systems and strategies, you can attract, nurture, and retain clients—all on your own.
The A-Frame System of Staffless Practice 
Before diving into specific strategies, it's essential to understand the foundational framework that supports a staffless practice. The A-Frame System comprises four key components:
  • Attracting the Right Practice Members: Identifying and drawing in the clients you genuinely want to serve.
  • Acquiring Their "Yes": Guiding potential clients to commit to your services and become part of your community.
  • Aligning Them to a New Way of Thinking: Educating and inspiring clients to embrace a holistic approach to health and wellness.
  • Adaptation and Integration: Allowing clients to settle into your practice, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported for long-term engagement.
While each component is crucial, today we'll focus on Acquiring the "Yes" without the need for additional staff.
Acquiring the "Yes" Without Staff
The goal is to move potential clients from interest to commitment seamlessly. Traditionally, this might involve staff members handling outreach, scheduling, and follow-ups. However, by relying on systems instead of people, you can achieve the same results more efficiently. 
Common Pitfall to Avoid: Don't try to fit a square peg into a round hole. This means recognizing when a system can replace a task typically assigned to a person, and vice versa. Misalignment can lead to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
Strategies for Success
  • Ask the Right Questions
  • Plan the Next Action
  • Show Up Where Your Ideal Clients Are
  • Leverage Automation and Systems
The Role of Personal Connection
Even in a staffless practice, the human element is irreplaceable once a client decides to engage with your services.
  • Warm Welcomes: Ensure that when clients arrive, they feel seen and appreciated.
  • Quality Over Quantity: Without a team, you might have fewer clients at a time, allowing you to provide more personalized care.
Growing your practice without staff is not only possible but can also be incredibly rewarding. By implementing these strategies, you can attract and retain your ideal clients, all while maintaining control over your practice's operations. Remember:
  • Be Proactive: Don't wait for clients to come to you. Initiate conversations and open doors.
  • Provide Value: Consistently offer helpful resources and insights.
  • Utilize Systems: Let automation handle the heavy lifting where appropriate.
  • Stay Genuine: Authenticity resonates more than any marketing tactic.
  • Embrace the journey of growing your staffless practice. With the right approach, you'll make a meaningful impact on your clients' lives while building a thriving business.

Introducing the A-Frame System

9/2/2024

0 Comments

Hello!
As a chiropractic practice owner, the need for structure is inevitable. After a deep discussion with one of my coaches about the cycle of sales and marketing, it became clear that our efforts in the practice needed a more organized approach. This realization led to the birth of what we now call the A-Frame System for the Staffless Practice.
What is the A-Frame System? 💖
The A-Frame System is a structured approach to managing and growing your practice by focusing on four key pillars:
Attract, Acquire, Align, and Adapt. This system not only provides a framework for how we interact with potential patients but also guides our internal processes to ensure we deliver the best possible care.
  • Week 1: Attract
The first step in the A-Frame System is to Attract the right people to your practice. This isn’t just about marketing; it’s about creating a magnetic field around your practice that draws in those who truly need your services. In week one of each month, our focus is on getting clear about who our ideal patients are and understanding how to bring them into our community. Whether it’s through content, community engagement, or other outreach efforts, the goal is to make your practice irresistible to those who would benefit most from your care.
  • Week 2: Acquire
Once you’ve attracted the right people, the next step is to Acquire their commitment. This involves not just getting them through the door, but also securing their investment in their own health and wellness journey. Week two is all about understanding what motivates your patients and helping them see the value in committing to a long-term wellness plan. This process is unique to each practice and requires a tailored approach that considers both your goals and the needs of your patients.
  • Week 3: Align
After acquiring their commitment, the focus shifts to Aligning their journey with their health goals. In chiropractic, we often talk about alignment, but this isn’t just about physical adjustments. It’s about aligning your patients’ understanding and expectations with the reality of their wellness journey. During week three, we explore ways to guide our patients on their path, helping them stay aligned with their goals and ensuring they understand the importance of consistency and follow-through.
  • Week 4: Adapt
Finally, the A-Frame System emphasizes the need to Adapt. Change is the only constant, and in week four, we focus on how to adapt both our practices and our patients’ care plans to evolving circumstances. This might involve integrating new tools, revisiting treatment plans, or simply taking a step back to allow space for growth and change. Adapting is about staying flexible and responsive, ensuring that both your practice and your patients are continually moving forward.
Why the A-Frame System?
You might be wondering, “If I have staff, how does this apply to me?” The Staffless Practice doesn’t mean no staff; it means having a lean, efficient team where everyone is working within their lane of genius. The A-Frame System helps streamline processes so that each team member can focus on what they do best, ultimately leading to better patient care and a more sustainable practice.
Bringing It All Together
The A-Frame System is more than just a framework; it’s a cadence that guides our efforts each month. By focusing on one aspect of the system each week, we can ensure that our practice is consistently attracting the right people, acquiring their commitment, aligning their care, and adapting to changes. This structured approach not only improves patient outcomes but also creates a more organized, efficient, and fulfilling work environment.
Whether you’re looking to grow your practice, enhance your patient care, or simply bring more structure to your operations, the A-Frame System offers a clear path forward. I invite you to explore how this system can be applied in your world—be it in your practice, your personal life, or any other area where you seek growth and improvement. This system is something I'm deeply passionate about, and I’m excited to share it with you. Stay tuned for more insights, and as always, thank you for being part of this journey with me.
