How to engage and retain patients

You’ve heard it said you only get one chance to make a first impression. That’s true for things as trivial as trying a new restaurant and as important as meeting your spouse’s family for the first time. In healthcare, first impressions can have a long-lasting impact on patients’ perceptions of your practice — and your bottom line.

Each of those things was built on moments of inspiration, years of effort, and the slow accumulation of technology and knowledge.

Stability, continuity of care, and outstanding service matter

National Patient Recognition Week occurs each year during the first week of February, coinciding with another popular event — Groundhog Day.

Mid-office reinvention builds on history

Today’s medical practices face a decidedly nonmedical dilemma: They need to adopt new technologies to better cope with the effects of a worldwide pandemic and its economic fallout.
