Transitioning To A Concierge Practice

To transition or not to transition, that is the question. What are the factors involved in transitioning to a concierge practice?

Education

The biggest fear most doctors have when they consider transitioning to a concierge practice is the loss of patients. When many patients hear the words “concierge practice” they think they can’t afford it.

This is where education comes in. Educating your patients on what this transition means is the single biggest factor that will determine whether your transition succeeds or fails. That means you will have to go above and beyond to help your patients understand that yes, they can still see you and no, they won’t go broke doing so.

When was the last time you created a healthcare marketing calendar for your practice? Perhaps the single most critical component of a successful healthcare practice is planning. You develop the floorplan of your office, you plan the look and tone of your business cards and brochures, you design the décor of your rooms, and you plan the care you provide to your clients. Likewise, you should intentionally plan your practice marketing by creating a written marketing calendar. (I like to call the marketing calendar a Connections Calendar^TM, because it details all the community connections you plan to make in the upcoming year.)
