The Realities of the Specialist Relationship Today
CE: 1.0
Description: Referral relationships are not what they used to be. Particularly given our current challenges in navigating the pandemic. There are those with whom you have a deep and loyal relationship, and then there are those that seem to want the world, refer poorly and their loyalty seems to change with the passing wind. There are even those who send you their loved ones yet somehow do not refer to you their regular patients. There are many competing pressures today. Corporate entities that keep everything in house, the debt of the GP and other economic pressures that influence the GP to place their own implants, as well as itinerant specialists. How do you compete in this environment and thrive?
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe the research about why groups are more effective than individual efforts.
- Explain how delegation makes your efforts with your referral base is more effective and efficient.
- Describe why focused and targeted efforts with your referral base vs. blanket efforts will yield more consistent results for your practice.
