Revolutionizing Physical Therapy private practice must start with environment first. It will then lead into the proper structure which will attract the right personnel so that you have who you need to help you implement the best systems of operations. So many owners know what they don’t want and they can often articulate what’s less than ideal in their practice but they don’t have the solutions necessary to bring about the change they desire. The first step is knowing how to attack the situation and then learning what you don’t know. Once you have the new knowledge in your head it’s all about the implementation step if things are really going to change.

In this ever-changing healthcare system of ours, many are finding that it’s time for them to take back control over their lives and drive the narrative instead of being the effect of the insurance carriers.  Is it better to go all cash-based or stay in-network and continue playing the insurance game?

Maybe it’s time to take back control with a proven HYBRID Model. As insurance carriers continue to reduce reimbursement and the federally funded programs are becoming increasingly more difficult to deal with, start-up owners and others are looking for more viable options today. The newest arrangement that is gaining popularity is the HYBRID model.

It’s more important than ever before that as owners we find ways to bring in good spirited fun and games into our office, for both our patients and staff. By survey, the highest reported degree of job satisfaction is based on staff friendliness resulting in the optimal workplace culture. If we turn our focus to servicing not only our patients but our personnel, community, and referral sources we will have something truly special that will be felt by all. 

Almost every PT private practice owner I have worked with has shared with me their dream that life would be better once they owned their own practice. However, almost one-for-one they didn’t understand the full scope of what they were getting into. Yet, there is one common thing that all successful owners do understand and that is how important it is to be focused, with unwavering commitment, to their goals. Even though they may lack the experience and skills necessary to navigate easily through the enturbulation from their staff and various external market influences, they never give up on wanting to grow and learn what it takes to survive and thrive in PT private practice. My goal has always been to provide practice owners with the help and tools they need along their journey, in order to make it the most rewarding decision of their life. Learn in this episode what it takes to thrive as a PT private practice owner.

All owners are responsible for the quality of their patient’s care, as well as their patient’s overall satisfaction with your practice. Your practice is a reflection of who you are and what is important to you. Your patients shouldn’t be experiencing anything that you wouldn’t want to experience yourself.

All too often practice owners place too much attention on generating more revenue rather than having their attention on what is most important to the viability of your company, which is making sure that you are in exchange in abundance at all times with your patients. Providing your patients with an over-the-top customer experience, while maintaining staff compliance with your company policies and metrics, will ensure that everyone is winning.
