When you need more than a consulting assessment because of
involved complex matters or as a follow through from our
Doctor CEO Practice Planning Day program you need this
special Coaching Service.
|
This service is designed to guide doctors and through them their
practices using a consistent progressive interface over a twelve
month period. The service starts with establishing parameters
for the result(s) desired, identifying challenges or barriers,
evaluating options and considering resources available. With the
parameters stated, the results are broken out into a worksheet
tailored to that doctor / the practice / the desired result and
is used during all coaching sessions to evaluate progress.
The program starts either as a natural follow through from the
our planning day program or from an independent doctor
situation.
The Coaching Service Offers Consistent Guidance
-
Observation:
Doctors are well intentioned in resolving pressing matters
or seeking to improve a situation but often loose focus,
fumbling golden opportunities. Without a consistent
documented approach to identifying result(s) sought and the
execution toward achieving it, matters can drag. When they
drag it is extremely frustrating. This is true for many
business and professional persons, not just doctors. But in
doctors lives, between the heightened demands of patients,
practice administration, family life and self, the situation
can be exacerbated. One of the finest resolutions is having
a service offering consistent guidance from an objective
well trained third party. Our Stay On Track service is
designed to offer the benefit of exceptional oversight from
trained advisors. The program is integrated with our
Smart
Doctor CEO Interactive Newsletter in both timeline and
objectives.
-
Observation:
Due to the rapid pace of a doctor's life, the best time
frame for consistent coaching is a weekly interface. With
pressure from both practice and personal affairs most
doctors can quickly lose focus. Our experience is that using
a weekly basis the guidance worksheet designed at the outset
of the engagement gives the best return for problem solving.

-
Observation:
Periodic assessment of the result(s) desired, the challenges and
barriers and next steps to be taken should be timeline identified
events. The coaching experience can take on a life of its own with
the risk that appropriate evaluation does not occur. Our rigorous
approach builds in at the start of each engagement the best
evaluation points both from a process and a timeline standpoint. We
encourage that any evaluation is tied to previously identified
business objectives including: overall practice administration,
marketing, finance and profitability and personnel, self and estate
planning.
-
As
with the vision and practice planning programs we feel that
assessing what the doctor's personal goals are and how the practice
can help to achieve those goals is critical.
The economic engine that is the doctor's solo or group practice is
the golden key to achieving both practice, career and personal
satisfaction. We see the practice as an ends to a means for doctors,
which depends on the individual "drivers" that impel a doctor to
continue practice.
How We Help You Establish Your Practice Path.
-
A Tackle It consultation is scheduled
prior to initiating the
Annual
Coaching program.
In addition, a Doctor CEO Practice Planning Day may be
required to thoroughly assess the challenges and next steps to be
implemented with the Annual Coaching engagement. Further, a
demographics study may be required to assess the position of the
practice as it relates to future initiatives.
The initial consultation is designed to help ensure that the
Annual
Coaching program
is right for you and tailored to the needs of the doctor(s) and
practice.
-
Once the Annual
Coaching program
is initiated
we request
relevant information on the practice and practitioners by sending
appropriate questionnaires, set the initial meeting date and weekly
follow up and set the weekly contact time. As needed over the
course of the year, we will
suggest advisors if the practice does not currently have needed
expertise.
The above description of the full program offered by Berning &
Affiliates coordinates the identified practice vision with
implementation objectives and a weekly interface to help ensure
accomplishing the objectives. Practices vary. Call us at
800-999-8121 to discuss your practice and your needs. |
