Ideas 31-40, practice improvement tips

Ideas 31-40 actionable items to improve your practice today:

• Clean the outside windows to your office. It's a direct reflection of cleanliness. Hire someone; your time is more valuable in the lane.
• Employ a shredding service for PHI documents. They come monthly for a reasonable fee.
• Utilize an app like Dext to take pics of business receipts for purchases to store for tax purposes, audits, good bookkeeping, etc. It reads the text and categorizes purchases.
• Utilize a service like Compliancy Group for HIPAA compliance. I know, feels like a waste of money for this shit, but HIPAA has nothing to do with actual education IMO, it's all about documentation and having record keeping of training so when a breach occurs, you said you did your best to protect data.
• Your ripped and torn exam room chairs can be reupholstered rather than replacing cushions and armrests.
• Keep a log of all outbound tracking numbers associated with patient names to labs for shipping. It's just a matter of time before you wish you had the info for a lost job.
• Hire a Spanish speaker when you can. They come in clutch!!!
• Want to surprise a staff member with a reward? Amazon prime them something they would use like a bath bomb or dog bone for their furry beast.
• Update your Google My Business photos. It's the first impression when people search "optometry/optical practice near me"
• Invite your friends to this group, please and thank you.
