"How to Improve Patient Retention and Drive Three New Streams of Revenue" with Dr Jay Greenstein

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast with Dr. Jay Greenstein, where we dived deep into how remote therapeutic monitoring can revolutionize patient retention and unlock new revenue streams for health practices. Here are 3 key takeaways you don’t want to miss: 🔑 Retention Before Acquisition: Many practices pour money into marketing for new patients without addressing the underlying “leaky bucket” problem—patients dropping off early in care. Focus on understanding and solving retention issues first to maximize revenue and patient outcomes. 🔑 Know Your Numbers: Most providers don’t run or understand the vital patient retention reports available from their EHR. Learning to track where and why patients drop out of care is essential—just a few quick reports can highlight huge revenue opportunities. 🔑 AED for Growth: Reviewing your processes regularly and asking what to Automate, Eliminate, or Delegate (AED) can streamline operations, leverage AI effectively, and lighten your workload—leading to happier staff and improved care.

"How to Grow Your Practice Without Becoming the Bottleneck" with Greg Goh

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast with Greg Goh who shared powerful insights for Allied Health practice owners looking to scale without becoming the bottleneck in their own business. Here are 3 key takeaways for clinic owners: 🔑 Without the right structure, growth can trap you: As practices grow, owners often find themselves with too many direct reports and every decision landing back on their desk, making the business harder—not easier—to run. 🔑 Delegate outcomes, not just tasks: Hiring a practice manager is not enough if you don't clearly define their decision rights and transfer true ownership of outcomes—not just tasks—to your leaders. 🔑 Audit your direct reports: A simple first step for owners is to review how many people are bringing decisions to them each week. More than five direct reports? It's a design problem that needs fixing if you want to free up your time and grow sustainably.

"How to Solve the Black Hole in Health Care" with Brian Spencer

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast with Brian Spencer to discuss how he's helping tackle one of healthcare’s toughest challenges: what really happens once a patient leaves the clinic? Here are 3 key takeaways for clinic owners, therapists, and healthcare innovators: 🔑 95% of therapy happens at home — yet most clinicians are blind to what takes place outside the clinic, leading to non-compliance, patient drop-offs, and inconsistent outcomes. 🔑 Clicks don't improve outcomes. Data does. Relying on reminders, apps, or self-reports isn’t enough. Clinicians need actionable insight into whether patients are doing their exercises and doing them correctly to deliver truly personalized and effective care. 🔑 Revenue leakage hurts your business. Losing just 15 patients a quarter, each leaving 4 visits early, can cost a clinic over $22K per provider annually. Knowing your numbers is the first step to plugging this leak and boosting margins. Want to learn how you can shed light on your own clinic’s black holes? Brian is offering a free revenue leakage audit tailored for your practice. Connect with Brian via LinkedIn or email via BrianSpencer@myoinsight.com to find out more! Let’s move from guesswork to data-driven rehab—benefiting both clinics and patients.

Self-belief is the foundation for stepping into ownership and leadership. 🔹 Learn on Someone Else’s Dime: Before launching your own clinic, work for someone who’s already where you want to be.

"How to Take 30 Days Off or More - Without Decreasing Revenue" with TaVona Denise

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast with TaVona Denise who shared an honest look at the challenges of the “golden cage” and provided practical steps for practice owners who want more freedom and less overwhelm. Here are 3 key takeaways practice owners need to hear: 🔑 The "Golden Cage" Trap You might feel successful on paper, but if your business can’t run for 30 days without you, you’re not really free. It’s time to identify what would crumble if you stepped away — that’s where you start creating change. 🔑 Systems, Not Size Growth isn’t about more patients or staff. True freedom comes from better systems, documentation, and leveraging your expertise (not just adding more to your plate). 🔑 You’re Not Alone The struggles span across disciplines — from PTs to chiropractors, mental health to functional medicine. No matter your field, the path out of the golden cage looks surprisingly similar. Want to see how you can start building a practice that runs without you?

"How to Reduce Owner Admin Overload and Buy Back Your Time" with Paula Burgess

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast, this session featuring practice admin and efficiency expert, Paula Burgess. In this session we went deep on how allied health business owners can finally reduce admin overload and reclaim their time—without sacrificing business performance. Here are my top 3 takeaways if you’re a health business owner feeling buried by admin: 🔑 Track your time relentlessly. As Paula explained, doing a simple time audit can reveal where your valuable hours are really going and highlight low-value tasks you could delegate or automate. 🔑 Systemize EVERYTHING you do more than once. Document your processes early! This not only makes future outsourcing smoother, but also helps you avoid being the bottleneck in your own business. 🔑 Don’t let mindset and trust issues keep you stuck. Many owners struggle to hand over admin because the business is their “baby”—but success comes from building trust in others and letting go to focus on your high-impact work.
