Strategies for Writing Engaging Social Media Posts for your Practice with Guest Expert Kayla Das

Are you a new clinic owner and wondering if social media marketing is for you?

Maybe you have been dabbling into social media marketing but now you are feeling overwhelmed?

Or, maybe you have an established social media presence but you want to learn new ways to get social media engagement.

In this Episode #109 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast For Your Healthcare Practice, guest expert Kayla Das of Evaspare Inc. provides 5 strategies for writing engaging social media posts for your practice!

Why Is Using Social Media Important?

​Kayla Das believes that the purpose of social media marketing is to inspire, entertain and to give more than you try to sell.

People are on social media because they want to be taken away temporarily from their day so they are much more likely to click on things that inspire, entertain or provide them some type of guidance and support.

After they gain trust with what you have to say you’ll be the first person they think of when they need professional support.

Kayla's #1 Tip

​“My number #1 tip for clinic managers about social media marketing is when you are starting out is to start small. Choose only one or two social media platforms. You do not need to be on every social media platform to get engagement. Start with a social media platform that you are familiar with and that you believe that your ideal client uses.” – Kayla Das

How To Include Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment

Posted on November 2, 2022 by Izza Nuguit in Blog

How To Include Cybersecurity In Your Privacy Impact Assessment

Keeping information safe and secure is a challenging development for businesses of all sizes over the last few years. Remote working and using cloud hosted services forced healthcare practices to change, or at least re-examine, their cybersecurity practices and protocols.

According to CyberEdge’s Cyberthreat Defense Report, 85% of organizations suffered from a successful cyberattack in 2021.

A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an important tool to help understand the risks to patient health information and your healthcare business.

The recent Technology Fact Sheet, “How To Protect Against Ransomware“ from the Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner, provides explanations and recommendations for all businesses.

Conduct privacy and security risk assessments whenever major new technology changes are introduced, and ensure that all critical elements of your IT environment are regularly reassessed.

Ontario Information Privacy Commission

Does Your PIA Include Cybersecurity Risks and Mitigation Plan?

You should review your PIA regularly, at least annually, and update your risk mitigation plans when there is a change in your administrative, technical, or physical practices. You also need to consider that the threat environment external to your business, like the increasing risk of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, can damage your business.

In this Episode #107 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, Jean L. Eaton, Practical Privacy Coach with Information Managers shows us how to include cybersecurity risks in your PIA.

My Takeaways

A Privacy Impact Assessment is a type of a risk assessment. We know that cybersecurity vulnerabilities is a real risk for all businesses, including medical, dental, and other healthcare practices.

Take the time now to consider the new cybersecurity risks. Discuss this with your IT and managed services provider. Find strategies that work best in your practice. Remember—ignoring the risk doesn’t make it go away!

Next time you update or amend your PIA, include what you have done lately to prevent a cybersecurity incident in your practice.

How Virtual Medical Office Administration Services Can Help Your Healthcare Practice With Kyle Sherritt

Posted on October 12, 2022 by Jean Eaton in Blog

How Virtual Medical Office Administration Services Can Help Your Healthcare Practice

 

Have you ever said, ‘If only, . . .

  • our referral backlog was caught up,
  • our incoming faxes were sorted,
  • our billing team was more confident, or
  • someone could help with the incoming phone calls during our busiest hours or lunch hour!'

If you have uttered these words, then you want to listen to our episode today how virtual medical office assistants and receptionists can help your healthcare practice.

In this Episode #106 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, guest expert Kyle Sherritt, VP Sherritt Services shows us how a virtual medical office assistant and virtual receptionist can improve the bottom line of your healthcare practice and improve the patient experience.

My Takeaways

Many—heck!—most healthcare practices have staffing fluctuations.

When you start your healthcare practice, you hire an entry-level receptionist and medical office assistant (MOA). You learn together how to set up your appointment scheduler, your patient recall reminders, and your fee-for-service billing.

Then, you get a little busier, but not busy enough to hire another MOA to assist the busy hours. Your new MOA is ready to take holidays, but you don’t have a relief person on board, yet.

The physician is doing most of the billing because they haven’t trained the MOA to do that, yet.

You want the MOA to step up and take on more administration roles in the clinic, but they can’t meet your expectations because they can’t walk away from the ringing telephone.

You might find that your dreams of a smooth-running office so that you can focus on your patients’ needs are spiraling out of control.

Or, maybe you have heard about a no-staff office practice for your small one-person practice. It sounds great, but you discover that you really don’t enjoy making appointment reminder phone calls yourself.

Would you like some help with that?

Sherritt Services is now providing virtual medical office administration services!

Imagine—phones answered promptly even during your peak hours and your patients receiving a warm reception without staff running off to put yet another person on hold.

Your billing is now done by your in-clinic staff correctly, without coaching from the physician now that the staff has successfully completed the Alberta Medical Billing Online Course.

These new services are brought to you by Sherritt Services, the medical office administration service provider trusted by healthcare providers for over 25 years.

Managing Employees When They Make Mistakes With Stacey Messner

Posted on October 3, 2022 by Izza Nuguit in Blog

Managing Employees When They Make Mistakes – Addressing Employee Performance and Restoring the Workplace

Have you ever had an employee who has made a mistake and now you’re scrambling about what to do next?

Your business needs a set of reasonable rules and guidelines for employees to follow. This helps to create a safe and respectful workplace and protect the privacy rights of your patients and employees.

Your healthcare practice should have a written policy and procedure to guide you in your response to a privacy and security incident.

Sometimes, our employees have been directly involved in the incident. For example:

  • Petty theft (personal gain)
  • Snooping in patient or employee records (disregarding policies)
  • Faxing a report to the wrong recipient (carelessness)
  • Using patient or employee information to cause harm (malice)

When employees and healthcare providers do not meet our expectations, sanctions or discipline may be appropriate.

In this episode #105 of the Practice Management Nuggets Podcast, guest human resources expert Stacey Messner gives practical advice to clinic managers and privacy officers to navigate difficult conversations after an employee makes a mistake.

  • Would you like more referrals from other providers to your practice?

You can accomplish these goals when you build your authority, appeal, and profits as an author.

When it comes to writing a book, people are usually in one camp or another. The first camp thinks it’s easy and the second camp thinks it’s too daunting to tackle.

Breaking strategies down into manageable nuggets is where authors find success.

Before you even consider strategies, however, you need to think about your why. That’s where the power of success lies. Once you are clear about your why, that gives you the mental energy to complete your book.

Linda will walk you through some of the essentials for creating a profitable book that represents you well.

My Takeaways – Build Your Author Platform

You have a big message to share. Your next step is to publish your message so that the people who need your expertise can easily find and be inspired by you.

There are many steps to publish and promote your book. I hear from many entrepreneurs who have published their book – and haven’t made any sales. You need a mentor like Linda Stirling will help you navigate the tricky path to publish, promote, and profit from your book.

Virtual Healthcare Privacy Lessons

Posted on January 14, 2022 by Jean Eaton in Blog

Virtual Healthcare Privacy Lessons

You've probably heard about the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) investigation report into Babylon Health. The investigation report provides privacy guidance for vendors of virtual health solutions and the healthcare providers who use the digital health solutions. This is a great demonstration on why it is so important to ensure that you have current information management agreements with your vendors. Jean Eaton shares tips to help you keep your vendor agreements current and explains why it is important to the protection of patient information and the reputation of your business.

The OIPC issued its findings and recommendations after investigating the Babylon by Telus Health app under HIA. There were eight findings and 11 recommendations made in this investigation.

The recommendations from the Babylon Health Investigation Report can be used to guide healthcare providers, clinic managers, privacy officers, and vendors to develop and implement virtual healthcare solutions in your practice.

In the Practice Management Nuggets Podcasts, Jean Eaton reviews the investigation report and offers practical suggestions that you can use regarding

• key criteria when reviewing (or preparing) your privacy impact assessment (PIA)
• policies, procedures
• information management agreements (IMA)
• privacy and security awareness training
• data storage outside of Alberta

How To Make A Profit In Your Healthcare Business

Posted on September 13, 2021 by Jean Eaton in Blog

How To Make A Profit In Your Healthcare Business

Healthcare providers learn their skills at medical school, but don’t learn how to make their business profitable. One of the best ways you can serve your customers better is by having a more profitable business.

However, healthcare practitioners face unique pitfalls and business challenges. Many health professions naturally lend themselves to self-employment but often don’t receive training on entrepreneurship and how to start a healthcare business and especially the financial side having a profitable business. This can very quickly lead to feelings of stress and overwhelm which can cause otherwise skilled healthcare providers to leave their profession.

Many healthcare providers find that their job is physically demanding and, if their health requires them to work less for a period of time, they worry that they don’t have the financial resiliency to fund a reduced work schedule.

Independent healthcare practices often have small numbers of clinic staff who are expected to fulfill many roles. Clinic managers are often tasked with bookkeeping even when they haven’t received training to help them with that.

Consequently, many healthcare providers and business owners don’t have simple systems to manage the finances of their business and are making business decisions on wishes.

 My Takeaways

Tammy Hyska’s personal experiences as the financial manager of her husbands’ chiropractic business and as an accountant to healthcare businesses in Alberta helps her to break things down for non-accounting people to understand without feeling overwhelmed.

On the most recent episode of Practice Management Nuggets podcast, I interviewed Tammy Hyska. Tammy shares practical tips for all practice owners, healthcare providers, and clinic managers who have an active role in managing the billing and the finances in the healthcare practice.

Tammy understands the common problems that healthcare providers experience when they manage their own business. She knows that people don’t train to be healthcare providers to have an excuse to do bookkeeping.

Instead, Tammy provides 5 practical tips to have a healthy business without becoming an accountant.

  1. Have a separate business bank account and a separate personal bank account
  2. Have a spending plan
  3. Read Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
  4. Use an accounting software
  5. Avoid debt

How To Build a Legal Foundation For Your Healthcare Practice

Posted on July 5, 2021 by Meghan in Blog

How To Build a Legal Foundation For Your Healthcare Practice

Many healthcare providers are excited to open their first independent practice but have many questions about how to build a legal foundation for their practice.

Corrine Boudreau of Online Legal Essentials can help you!

On the most recent episode of Practice Management Nuggets podcast, I interviewed Corinne Boudreau of Online Legal Essentials. Corinne has developed guided legal templates for Canadians doing business online.

Corinne has a knack for making things practical and easy to implement. Being a lawyer since 2002 has given her perspective and experience to boil things down to the essentials.

Corinne’s advice is that the essential business documents you need for a new healthcare practice are based on relationships. Relationships are triggers for business documents to help improve communication and set expectations – get it in writing!

For example:

Relationships with patients or clients

  • Terms of service and payments documents

Relationships with employees, contractors, associates

  • Hiring documents

Relationships with other healthcare providers in a group practice

  • Fee splitting and payment options
  • Cost sharing agreements

Relationships with landlords

  • Commercial lease agreements

Relationships with the public

  • Privacy policies including on your website
  • Copyright notices when you create and distribute your unique content

Your Big (or Small) Online Presence

Every practice needs an online presence of some kind. Maybe your brick-and-mortar local clinic only needs a simple business card presence to attract new patients and let them know how to find you. Or maybe you will offer virtual visits, online memberships or courses, or online sales of physical products. It is important to project yourself as a business owner by having a professional presence on your website – this includes having a privacy policy, copyright notice, disclaimers, and terms of use statement.

Should You Incorporate?

In the podcast, Corrine discusses corporate structure options for healthcare practices – including the difference between an incorporated business, partnership, or corporation business entities vs professional corporation when you are a member of regulated health profession.
