The Digital Dentist

Care Credit, which is known for their great educational CD's, has done it again, producing a CD with my friend Dr. Bill Blatchford. Here's the news:

COSTA MESA, CA., FEBRUARY 2009 — CareCredit, the nation’s leading patient payment program is offering a FREE educational audio CD, Business Principles for Any Economy, featuring Dr. Bill Blatchford, President of Blatchford Solutions. For over 20 years Dr. Blatchford ran a successful practice in Oregon, and today is recognized as one of the strongest voices in dentistry. Through his Custom Coaching Program, he has helped thousands of doctors achieve practice success, with a special emphasis on increased case acceptance.

During this 60-minute audio program, Dr. Blatchford discusses two measures of success: overhead and sales, or “capacity and demand.” These two measures determine practice profitability, which enables a dentist to reinvest in technology, pay their staff well and enjoy a comfortable, well-deserved lifestyle. Dr. Blatchford details the ideal overhead expense allocation, explains how overhead can change profitability and describes how your lab bill reflects and determines your success. Dr. Blatchford also shares his “Power Questions,” which increase case acceptance by leading patients down the path of self-discovery, helping them realize the value of dentistry.

For more than 20 years, CareCredit has been making it easy for patients to get the dentistry they need and want. Today, CareCredit is at work in more than 110,000 practices and is used by over 7 million patients. CareCredit is exclusively selected for their members by most state and national dental associations, including ADA Business SolutionsSM, AGD, AAOMS, and AAP, and is also recommended by leading practice management consultants.
