The Workforce Solution to Avoid Missed Production Revenue
Call-offs and time off happens – but what’s your office’s solution to maintaining revenue goals?
Considering the hygiene department contributes 25-35% of gross practice production, let alone the number of annual patients they manage (800-1,000), when one calls off, it creates risk of missing critical revenue goals. Hygienists also play a key role in identifying and recommending 75% of restorative procedures to the dentist for additional practice revenue. With an estimated daily production value of $1,200, an unexpected call-off can create a serious problem.
In addition to unexpected call offs, providing your staff hygienists with proper paid time off helps maintain a positive office culture and increases employee engagement.
But how can your practice stay productive with a staff hygienist out?
When an RDH calls out, dental practices can lose up to $1,200 in production value (8 hour work day x $150 per patient). Production value isn’t the only risk – the hassle of rescheduling patients could result in losing patients to nearby competitors, especially if they arranged their day for their bi-annual dental cleaning. With the price of obtaining a new patient to average around $150-300 per patient, losing 8 patients on top of daily production value is significant.
Investing in a self-serve staffing platform will drastically reduce the risk of losing a full day’s worth of production value and patients.
