Brief summary of show:
In this episode of Dental Decoder's podcast, I join you for a solo episode that's a snippet of my recent keynote, all about optimizing dental practice operations. And you'll love this even more if you're an Open Dental software user!
Drawing from my personal experiences in a dental practice, we talk about the challenges of stress and burnout faced by dental office managers through the stories of John and Aimee. I also share strategies for enhancing productivity and reducing burnout, including efficient use of morning huddles, effective delegation, and automation within Open Dental.
