Zedβs story begins in 2011 when he founded TrackableMed with the goal of boosting patient flow. However, he quickly hit a wall with inconsistent results across different practices. "We would get 10 different outcomes in 10 different cities," Zed recalls. The culprit? Internal constraints like overwhelmed front desk staff making it hard for patients to book appointments. To fix this, Zed created a call center to streamline the booking process, leading to the birth of the Physician Growth Accelerator.
Zed explains how to identify and fix the hidden constraints holding your practice back, the importance of targeting ideal patients, and the impact of a strong staff culture. He also shares practical strategies to reduce no-show rates and boost patient engagement.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their practice to new heights.
