The PM Deficit.

While dentists are highly skilled professionals in their field, running a practice requires a different set of skills and expertise that a dental practice manager typically possesses. Here's why a practice manager may be better suited to run the day-to-day operations:

Focus on the craft: Dentists are primarily trained to provide dental care to patients. Entrusting the administrative and managerial tasks to a practice manager allows dentists to focus on what they do best—providing quality dental treatment.

Business expertise: Practice managers often have specialised training or experience in business management, finance, and administration. They bring expertise in areas such as accounting, budgeting, marketing, and staff management, which are essential for the success of the practice.

Time management: Dentists have demanding schedules filled with patient appointments and clinical responsibilities. Delegating administrative tasks to a practice manager allows dentists to optimise their time and focus on patient care without being burdened by administrative duties.

Regulatory compliance: Healthcare regulations and compliance requirements are complex and constantly evolving. Practice managers are well-versed in navigating these regulations and ensuring that the practice adheres to legal and ethical standards, minimising the risk of compliance issues.

Efficiency and productivity: Practice managers are skilled at creating efficient workflows, streamlining processes, and improving systems within the practice. By implementing effective systems and protocols, they can enhance productivity, reduce overhead costs, and maximise the profitability of the practice.
