Many dentists are finding the answer to the additional
stress of managing today’s uber-busy dental office by hiring a Practice
Administrator. That poses the question to many dentists, “Where can I find
someone to fill the role?” Look for
likely candidates among your own team members.
A bright, experienced, dependable staff member with a sense of the
business aspects of the practice can evolve into an excellent Practice
Administrator. You may find the right
person by recruiting business or management graduates at local colleges or
community colleges. Additionally, place
ads with employment agencies,
particularly those specializing in management level positions or healthcare
practice administrators.
While you are weighing the possibilities of adding a
Practice Administrator to your staff roster, the questions may arise: “Do I
really need a Practice Administrator?” “What
will the position cost?” “Can my
practice afford it?” I’ll post some
thoughts about Administrator responsibilities and compensation in my next
blog. Watch for it.
