And you're going to hear a lot of great things from all of Kirk's guests. If you get one little pearl and put it all together, it's going to make an amazing difference.” (4:55—5:10)“You want to have as few denied claims as possible. We're playing in that lane. We want to have as much success for our patients in our practice as possible, from a clinical and a financial standpoint. So, what are some of the things that we can arm ourselves with to be able to make sure that our diagnosis is ironclad, and our documentation is ironclad, and that our systems within the practice are supporting the hygienists to be able to have the time that they need to do a diagnosis? Because that's always the knee-jerk reaction with this. We're in this age right now of like, ‘Okay, something's got to give.' Hygiene wages are going up. Reimbursements are going down. And the first thing everybody thinks about is time, ‘Well, we've just got to see more patients in the day.'” (10:37—11:31)“Consider something like assisted...

The 5 Don'ts of Attracting a New Hygienist Episode #471 with Rachel Wall, RDH, BS An ad won't fix your practice. But with the right strategy, you can attract the right people. And to help you magnetize your future ideal team, Kirk Behrendt brings in Rachel Wall, CEO and founder of Inspired Hygiene, to reveal five important don'ts when attracting new hygienists. Money isn't the only thing that great hygienists value! To find out what they look for in a practice, listen to Episode 471 of The Best Practices Show! Main Takeaways: Be flexible and keep an open mind when hiring someone new. Create an attractive culture that makes people want to stay. Never create incentives that are only for new hires. Avoid adding too many details in your ads. Engage your team in the hiring process. Highlight your unique perks. Be creative. Quotes: “You want to create a situation that's attractive, bringing [new hygienists] into the practice, and then create a culture that really helps them want to stay.” (5:39—5:51) “It certainly is not all about money. And I think there are hygienists out there that would be willing to take a little lower rate if they really and truly believe that the culture was healthy and strong. And you've got to, in addition to finding the right fit from a financial standpoint, find the right fit for a culture.” (7:22—7:42) “You do need to keep an open mind, and don't count somebody out right away. But also, the same goes for the employee. You've got to keep an open mind too and be willing to look at the practice and say, ‘Okay, they're doing things at a higher level. They're using digital scanning, and I don't have experience with that. They have a really thorough perio protocol, and I don't have experience with that. But I'm willing to learn and I'm willing to see, what is their philosophy, and what do they believe about these services that really brings a lot to their patients and brings value to their community.'” (8:14—8:49) “You don't get what you don't ask for. But also, don't just expect because you asked for something that everybody's going to hand it to you.” (10:52—10:59) “You don't get what you don't ask for. However, you've got to be able to document your experience that is going to warrant you getting what it is you're asking for.” (11:53—12:05) “Don't use only one or two methods when you're seeking a new team member. And it's not just hygienists. This really goes for any position in your practice. I'm hearing things about Indeed. The latest I've heard about Indeed is there's not much coming from Indeed. But someone else may have a different experience. So, you've got to try multiple ways.” (12:40—13:04) “Use Indeed if you've seen that work in your area. But you've also got to network. The best people come, often, from networking. They come from people that you know. Now, again, don't hire them just because you know them, or your neighbor knows them. But if they happen to fit your core values and they get results, then you also have someone that has some history with this individual, which is always super helpful.” (13:11—13:34) “Get to know the leaders at your dental hygiene programs, even if they're not local, even if they're in another state. I moved to another state when I started practicing dental hygiene. So, hygienists are willing to do that if they are going into a practice that they really think they're going to enjoy, and it's meeting their expectations as well.” (13:38—13:59) “We created a recruiting deck for our clients to use. And so, [create a] video. One of our clients, we built this deck for him. We're like, ‘You've got to have a link on this slide to your video on your site. And, by the way, you have 423 reviews in Google and they're five-star.' Potential employees are going to be looking at that kind of thing, and you want to highlight that. You want to highlight what you can bring to the table because they're checking you out as well.” (17:34—18:10) “Number two don't:...

Is your dental hygiene team working to their full potential? It's common to find that dental practice owners haven't ever seen a dental hygiene department working in tandem and generating their full income potential so these practice owners aren't even aware of the possibilities. Most dental practices have room for improvement in the efficiency and mindset of their staff, and that's where Rachel Wall comes in. Rachel is the founder of Inspired Hygiene, a company committed to helping dentists tap into hygiene's profit potential through coaching webinars, and mastermind groups. She joins the team at Edwards & Associates in this episode to discuss where dental practice owners are missing the mark in terms of their hygiene department, and why they may be leaving massive money on the table.  She also discusses why it's so important for teams to work together, and where you begin to get a hygiene team to work to its full potential. They also talk about why the majority of hygiene teams are underperforming, and if the 3:1 production standard is still realistic to expect with pay rates increasing. So if you're looking to boost your patient care and profits with your current hygiene team, then make sure you listen.  If you're interested in connecting with Rachel, you can sign up for a consult by visiting: https://www.inspiredhygiene.com/talk/ (https://www.inspiredhygiene.com/talk/) or emailing clients@inspiredhygiene.com  Use code Edwards300 for a $300 discount.

There is an acute need for growth in your practice's hygiene and it's likely due to these three reasons. Registered Dental Hygienist and CEO of Inspired Hygiene's Rachel Wall joins the guys to bring her hygiene years of experience to the table to help practices break out of their comfort zone and step into success.

Following the thread from last week's discussion, we're taking a close look at how hygienists get paid and, most importantly, how they can get paid well. Rachel Wall (who previously appeared on episode 109) was kind enough to stop by again to discuss how compensation can be most efficiently and fairly distributed throughout any clinic's hygiene department. Rachel Teel Wall, RDH, BS, is the founder and owner of Inspired Hygiene. Through coaching and seminars, Inspired Hygiene aims to maximize the profit and productivity of every dental team's hygiene department with a particular focus on compensation models. Her two decades of experience in the industry encompasses her time as both a hygienist and an office administrator. In this episode, Rachel chats with us about the importance of everyone playing their role in a dental practice and what she thinks makes for an ideal compensation model. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 2:50 - Looking at the different compensation models available to hygienists. - Explaining the 3:1 compensation model. - Understanding everybody’s responsibilities in a dental clinic. - Making the most of your time, your dentist’s time and managing patient relations.  - What Rachel believes is the best compensation model for everybody involved. - Finding that right balance between overtreatment and undertreatment.

On this Dentist Money™ show, Reese and Ryan take time out to interview several well-known dental industry leaders at the Voices of Dentistry Summit. Experts from Kleer, Inspired Hygiene, Wonderist Agency, and others, chat with Reese and Ryan, and offer their unique points-of-view about the coming year. The interviews can be unexpectedly personal, and often truly powerful. It's a one-of-a-kind show full of little golden nuggets of wisdom.

This week on Shared Practices Richard interviews Rachel Wall, 20-year veteran hygienist, consultant, speaker and CEO/founder of Inspired Hygiene. Rachel has written for, and been featured in, numerous industry journals including Dentistry Today, Progressive Dentist, RDH, and Hygienetown. She recently received the 2012 Dental Excellence Award from DrBicuspid.com for “Most Effective Dental Hygienist Educator”.

As with all the episodes on case acceptance there is a healthy amount of discussion on patient communication, and how having a team who are all on the same page, is vital to reaching your practices full potential. Rachel also discusses the various techniques she uses to implement systems for case acceptance effectively, and some roadblocks you may encounter within your team.   :: Sponsors ::   Q Optics - Find out more about discount on pair Q-Optics loupes Email: SP16 to sales@q-optics.com Blue Sky Bio -  Download the revolutionary free implant planning software   :: Topic  Time  Codes ::   00:00 – 01:17   Richard intro’s the show   03:34 – 06:43   Introducing Rachel and explaining how hygienists can be central to case acceptance.   06:44 – 09:10   Improving communication between hygienists, dentists and patients and the impact it can have   09:11 – 12:11   seeing things from the patient’s perspective and how a lack of communication can lead to fatigue within the team.   12:12 – 16:27   How can you get your team on the same page.   16:28 – 20:51   How often should you hold case reviews and how you can benefit in the long term from scaling them to more complex cases.   20:52 – 24:15   Keeping your diagnosis consistent and the importance of updating your team to changes in your methodology.   25:36 – 30:04   Where do teams struggle with implementing case reviews.   30:05 – 35:28   How often does Rachel se examples of team members not buying into the system.   35:29 – 39:59   The triage approach to patient communication and a discussion about co-diagnosis.   40:00 – 44:52   When is it important to focus on preventative treatment versus co-diagnosis in a case acceptance context.   44:53 – 47:03   Bringing every member of your team into the role of a healthcare provider.   47:04 – 48:23   Some final thoughts with Rachel.   48:24 – 52:03   Conclusions with Richard
