For the first time in history, less than 50% of physicians are practicing independently in private practice. Continuous reimbursement cuts, ever-increasing vendor costs, and an unbridled expansion of administrative and regulatory burdens—all in the face of industry-wide consolidation and corporatization—are leading to an unprecedented collapse of the private practice. In the face of all these external industry threats that every practice faces, your freedom—time-freedom, financial freedom, and freedom to practice—comes down to how successfully your practice has incorporated systems into your practice. More specifically, marketing and growth systems that unlock the leveraged economics necessary to enable you to build a stable, sustainable, and scalable medical practice. These systems are what yield the difference between a thriving independent practice and one that’s struggling, and ultimately failing, to survive. Central to these marketing and growth systems are the three pillars of every successful practice: establishing visibility for the practice, successfully making the practice attractive to prospective patients, and being readily responsive to new and existing patient needs and concerns. If your practice is struggling to grow, it is very likely that your foundation is lacking one or more of these essential pillars: visibility, attractiveness, and responsivity. This book is not meant to be inspirational. There are also no "get rich quick" schemes in here. This book is a blueprint designed to show you how to make your practice visible, attractive, and responsive. I've packed it with practical examples and tangible action steps so that you can simply, strategically, and systematically build each pillar of success into the foundation of your practice.
