In this episode, I spend time basking in the sun of Dr. Todd Wolynn, pediatrician and CEO at Kids Plus Pediatrics in Pittsburgh, PA. I can talk to Dr. Wolynn for hours, but we tried hard to focus - and largely succeeded - on how to even get started on the idea of making significant change in your practice. KPP, you see, is arguably the most progressive, evolutionary, and with-it pediatric practice in the country. You can see the details below. But when I talk to or about Dr. Wolynn, I see some p...

Many of you have heard me give the "Patient Recall Strategies" talk. It may be my most popular and effective presentation. I even identified the lack of preventive care focus as the #1 Business Mistake That Pediatricians Make . But there is still more to say about this subject. I realized that both "halves" of this talk - the WHY and the HOW - needed updating and additional content, so I split them up. Here is the first half to help remind pediatricians WHY preventive care is so important. I've ...

Last year, I was working with our marketing people to focus on our clients' "pain points." They asked me, "What problems and mistakes do you see the most often in the offices you visit?" I went into a rant and started writing things on a white board to keep it all organized. When the pen ran out of ink, I took a step back and realized...hey, this is important stuff. Since then, I've had the chance to deliver a seminar with the title above: The Five Biggest Business Mistakes Pediatricians Make - ...

During the podcast, I refer to PCC's productivity calculator - it's a free on-line t...

Dr. Berman came up with some fantastic reminders. A list of all the important housecleaning items we came up with is posted on the blog - le...
