What 5 Things Do The Best Run Healthcare Private Practices Have In Common?

Running your own medical practice can take a lot of work.

As a private practice, you provide quality care that your patients need.

But when you own a private practice, you’re not only a healthcare provider.

You’re also a business owner.

And you’re responsible for everything that comes along with that.

If you want to start your own healthcare clinic, you’re going to need some extra support.

One way to find that support is through a medical coworking space.

At a Symbiosis medical coworking space, you share resources with with other healthcare providers.

This includes your physical clinic space, but it also provides easy in house access to digital marketing and revenue cycle management services

This lets you pool your resources so you can all be more successful.

But what are some things you need to be successful as a private practice owner?

Let’s take a closer look at some signs of successful private practices and how Symbiosis can help you build success.

They Learn From Others’ Mistakes Before They Start

One of the most important parts of starting your own private practice and keeping it successful is anticipating possible problems.

If you anticipate problems before they happen, you’ll already have the tools you need to solve them.

This includes many common mistakes when starting a private practice.

One of the biggest mistakes owners of unsuccessful practices make is relying all on themselves.

Running your own business is challenging and exhausting.

You need multiple heads in the game to keep you focused, offer up solutions, and avoid the healthcare burnout that’s so common in this industry.

Being able to rely on others takes the pressure off you to be everything your new business needs.

That’s just one example, but there are many others.

So how exactly do you learn from the mistakes of other people so that you can avoid them?

Well, one way to do this is by letting us at Symbiosis take on a share of the responsibility.

We can help you avoid repeating the mistakes of others.

With someone else focused on the nitty gritty parts of your practice that don’t have to do with actual healthcare, you can focus on the real reason you opened your private practice in the first place.

Providing an excellent quality of care for your patients.

They Understand The Importance Of Patient Referrals

As a private practice owner, you know that patients drive your business.

Without patients, you can’t generate income or pay your staff.

This means that patient referrals are essential.

But how do you go about getting more patients?

One way is to ask your patients to refer their friends and family to you.

If they’re happy with the quality of care they receive, they’ll want to pass that on.

You can also train your support staff to ask patients for referrals.

It doesn’t all need to be on you.

Again, if your staff is focused on building rapport with your patients and providing a high quality of care, your patients will be more likely to recommend you to their community.

Of course, the best thing you can always do is to provide excellent healthcare.

And the best way you can do this is by finding solutions that let you focus more on the care you provide and less on all the other nitty gritty details.

By joining Symbiosis, you’ll get the chance to network with other healthcare providers complementary to you.

Their Patients Trust Them

At any successful medical practice, your patients will trust you and the care you provide.

Patient trust is essential for improving your patients’ experiences.

When your patients trust you, they’re more likely to accept and adhere to your treatment recommendations.

They’re also less likely to be anxious when they come to see you.

Some proven ways to foster trust with your patients include:

• Being respectful and caring
• Maintaining strict confidentiality
• Being as honest as you can be
• Being competent in your care
• Being friendly

So how can you make sure you build this kind of trust with your patients?

Well, one of the best things to do is to have the freedom to focus on your patients.

In a medical coworking space like Symbiosis, you can take advantage of the pooled resources of many healthcare practices.

We can help you make sure your website looks professional, provide you with support staff, make sure you’re getting paid by your patients’ health insurance, and keep your clinic space clean and professional.

That way, you’ll have more time to focus on your patients.

And your patients will notice the difference.

They Have Reliable Support Staff

Your healthcare support staff is essential to keeping your practice running smoothly.

Successful private practices have healthcare support staff who are knowledgeable and experienced.

Their staff are aligned with the values of their private practices.

They also have low staff turnover, which provides the office with a sense of consistency.

However, hiring and maintaining support staff is a lot of work on top of all the other things you need to do as a private practice owner.

Before you even get to the part where you hire staff, you have to make sure you have a clear plan for hiring.

How do you choose a location for your clinic where people want to work?

What kind of staff do you need to hire?

What qualifications do they need?

What other experience would your successful candidates have?

How competitively can I pay my employees?

Do I need to sacrifice on experience requirements in order to fit my budget?

Once you’ve gone through the hiring process and have hired new staff, the big question comes up.

How do you retain your staff?

One way to overcome the challenges of hiring and maintaining support staff is by utilizing a medical coworking model like Symbiosis.

At Symbiosis, we take care of support staffing for you.

We provide you with receptionists and back office staff to keep your medical practice running smoothly.

They Keep Their Expenses Flat And Know How To Get Paid

A sign of being a successful healthcare practice is that you never have to wonder why you’re losing money.

There are so many ways your private practice can lose money instead of making it.

This is just the reality of a business owner, it’s not unique to a medical practice.

One of the unique challenges that medical practices face, though, is making sure your patients’ insurance pays you and your practice.

It’s a balance.

On one hand, you need to see enough patients to make sure you can pay your bills and generate income.

On the other hand, it’s important to make sure you’re submitting your healthcare insurance claims properly and on time, and that you’re being paid the correct amount by your patients’ insurance carriers.

Something like marketing, though, isn’t unique to medical practices.

Just like any other business, you need to be able to market your services.

Successful marketing means you can grow your practice.

These are only two examples, but it already sounds like a big balancing act, doesn’t it?

That’s where Symbiosis comes in.

At our medical coworking space, we provide opportunity for you to save on costs, especially as you start up a new medical practice.

We take care of things like insurance billing and marketing for you.

And all at one consistent, predictable monthly fee.

That way you can worry less about your bottom line, and more about your patients.
