If you are a regular reader of my blogs, you know that last month, OPIE sponsored its first Bootcamp in many years. It was fantastic, and I think everyone in the room, including the speakers, learned something at the event. I believe in continuous learning and know that the more we are able to discuss our beliefs and be receptive to other ideas, then we are better off. I wrote in a blog a while back about the danger of open-mindedness, and how we must employ discernment when presented with new ideas. I still believe that wholeheartedly. To grow, we can’t close ourselves off to new ideas, but neither can we adopt a new idea because it is fashionable: There has to be a litmus test of truth. Truth is truth. Back to outcomes!
At Bootcamp, we went through a series of exercises to get everyone to identify the first challenge they would like to solve when they got back to the office, and we then worked out steps to begin implementing the solution. Not surprisingly, everything came down to creating efficiency and standardization around a practice management process. It may have been organizing the WIP, or improving interoffice communication, or even eliminating their reliance on paper charting. There will be different priorities based on where your practice falls on the continuum between constant chaos and total efficiency.
