The reality is that most people really have no clue how well their hygiene department is doing.
Why?
Because it just happens. Every day hygiene is just there.
If the schedule stays in tack, even better.
That is how many doctors look at hygiene - they are just happy when it happens like it's supposed to.
Great. If people show up for their appointment and they reschedule six months out, that is fantastic and we have nothing to worry about right? I mean, that is what we are told is optimal.
Stop and think about if for a second, and see if this is really what you what you believe it is all about.
The rooms used for hygiene cost you about $15,000 - $30,000 each right? Then you had to add the hygienist to work in there (another $300/day). Then there is the front desk person who makes confirmation calls and schedules the hygiene appointments (another $120/day). Add on top of this investment the marketing costs each month (another $75/day) and just turning the lights on every day. Soon we see that the investment in hygiene is HUGE.
Then there is the aggravation cost.
What is the aggravation cost you ask?
That is what happens when there are holes in the schedule or no-shows.
You know, when you show up first thing in the morning and the schedule looked great and by 9:15, it has all fallen apart. GONE.
Now you have 4 staff members that you're paying, sitting around in the break room on their phones and talking about what they are going to do this weekend.
AGGRAVATION
It may not be as bad as it seems, or it might be worse. You don't really know because you don't really know the value of that time. You just know that you are paying a lot of money that is PRODUCING NOTHING.
Do yourself and your hygiene team a favor. Have this analysis completed and find out exactly what your hygiene team is producing.
We tell you what they are doing individually and as a team. We let you know what the schedule looks like, by the month and by the hour.
This is the real deal. A complete analysis of what hygiene IS doing, and what hygiene COULD be doing.
All of the costs are already there. Why not pick up more production along the way?
