Description

Endodontists, by and large, rely on referrals from other practitioners to maintain patient flow. If referral management is done well, it can enhance patient care and minimize patient management problems. If it is not done well, it can result in poor practice performance and the loss of confidence by the local dental community in an endodontic practice. This presentation will review the overall relationship between the GP and the specialist and offer 10 things to avoid so that your relationships with your referrals stay strong.

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

Explain what it is that general practitioners want and need from their Endodontist.
Describe updates on the most effective ways to maintain optimum referral relationships.
Avoid the 10 common errors that can drive referrals away from an endodontic practice.
