Manage Your Treatment Process Efficiently and Effectively
Speaker: Al Atta, DDS, MSD, MBA
This course is an introduction to the business of orthodontics, where our treatment
process must be managed according to the accepted business function and
business intelligence to ensure on-time efficiency and with controlled cost for
continuous cash flow effectiveness. In a currently stressed market both are survival
issues. This course will define the clinical practice efficiency ratio. You will
learn to identify and measure it so you can utilize it as the core factor in determining
your schedule.
Educational objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants should be
able to achieve the following:
- Learn how to reduce their cost of service and be more efficient.
- Measure their clinical efficiency.
- Manage cycle time and actual time for each activity in the treatment process.
- Learn how to manage their schedule, including peak and off-peak time and avoid bottlenecks.
- Learn how to avoid high patient inventory by managing the flow of patients to ensure on-time treatment.
- Identify good cost and toxic cost as well as cost drivers.
- Determine their break-even point.
- Practice customized treatment processes that deal with variability.
The Rationale for Extractions in Class II Malocclusions
Speaker: Larry White, DDS, MSD, FACD
Charles Tweed and Raymond Begg had enormous influence on the orthodontic
profession by popularizing the remove of maxillary and mandibular premolars
in the treatment of Class II malocclusions. That protocol still enjoys outsized
and undeserved esteem. This presentation will display theoretically and clinically
how and why that practice often leads to clinical failure. Clinicians will see
some alternative therapies that have more rational bases and much higher
chances of success, and doctors can immediately implement these ideas.
