   141: Business Systems To Reduce Viral Transfer

   Just to give you an update of my practice right now, we initially did a gradual rollout, bringing in our team members back on piecemeal over a period of three weeks. And now, we’re back full-time – basically, with a new way of doing business. Obviously, the downtime has given us some time to assess a few issues we have found pre-pandemic that need to be addressed. In a clinic setting, patients can easily transfer diseases to the dental team and vice versa. This happens when you're handing stuff to and from patients (ex. paperwork, clipboards, ink, pens, insurance cards, credit cards, cash, etc.) In this episode, I’m going to discuss a few things that we have done in our practice to reduce or eliminate person-to-person contact so we could mitigate the risk of any transfer of disease. In this episode, you’ll hear: How to implement the e-prescription system Things you can include in your online paperwork Handling payments (cards, check, and cash) Other safety practices you can do in your clinic Connect with Russell: Dr. Russell Kirk (http://drrussellkirk.com/) Podcast (http://drrussellkirk.com/podcast/) Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/businessofdentistrypodcast/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/businessofdentistry/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/businessdentist LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/business-of-dentistry/ DoseSpot e-Prescribing and Integration Software: https://www.dosespot.com/ Formstack Online Form Builder: https://www.formstack.com/ (https://www.formstack.com/) OperaDDS: https://operadds.com/ *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

   140: Preparing for Our Return to Practice with Dr. Victor Martel

   How are you going to approach things once your state allows you to reopen your office? Do you think you’re going back to where you were pre-pandemic? There are a lot of questions that are yet to be answered because these are unprecedented times. But there will certainly be a huge paradigm shift both in your practice and in your patients. It’s not going to be the same – it probably won’t ever be the same. What we do and how we do it are going to be different now. Today, Dr. Victor Martel joins me as we talk about the possible changes and challenges that we, as dental care providers and business owners, need to consider as we’re preparing for the reopening of our offices. Victor received his dental degree from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine in New Jersey. He is a Fellow at the Academy of General Dentistry and the President of Florida Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He is a visiting faculty member at Baylor University and a former faculty member at the Dawson Academy. Based in West Palm Beach, Florida, Victor is limiting his practice to high-end prosthetics and prosthodontics. Victor is also the Founder of Martel Academy (https://www.martelacademy.com/). In their mission to elevate the knowledge base of the dental community, they offer courses related to dental implants, esthetic dentistry, occlusion, and comprehensive treatment planning. In this episode, you’ll hear: Safety issues (aerosol, PPE, screening patients) Looking at lower patient volume and how to approach this How this crisis will impact the value of your office Thoughts on retirement, re-engaging, and reinventing The integrity issue Connect with Dr. Victor Martel Dr. Victor Martel Dr. Victor Martel Practice (https://www.victormarteldmd.com/) Dr. Victor Martel FB Dr. Victor Martel IG (https://www.instagram.com/drvicmartel/) Dr. Victor Martel Linkedin Martel Academy (https://www.martelacademy.com/) Email Victor (mailto:martelvic@me.com) Connect with Dr. Russel Kirk Dr. Russell Kirk (http://drrussellkirk.com/) Business of Dentistry Podcast (http://drrussellkirk.com/podcast) Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/businessofdentistrypodcast/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/businessofdentistry/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/businessdentist LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/business-of-dentistry/ *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

   139: Coronavirus Conversation With Dr. Justin Moody

   Practicing for 23 years now, Dr. Justin Moody is one of the most credentialed Implantologists in the U.S. He is the Founder and Director of Implant Pathway, a continuing education program that focuses on the surgical placement of dental implants. Dr. Moody is also an international speaker and he builds strong mentorships with doctors who take his courses through live surgical training at the end of their Implant Pathway continuum. In today’s episode, we discuss different topics including what he’s been doing during this pandemic and his plans moving forward. We also talk about the Implant Pathway and how we can use this downtime to learn more about implants. Justin specifically brings up the issue we’re facing right now where dentists are viewed as nonessential, and even “dangerous,” at this time of the pandemic – when we could have become force multipliers in the healthcare system. He makes a valid point about how dentists should really be regarded as specialists in our field in the same way that MDs are in their respective specialties. In this episode, you’ll hear: ADA’s lack of support for dental care providers How to manage our practice from a business standpoint The hurdles and impediments to the dental implant industry Realizations gleaned from this COVID-19 situation Connect with Dr. Justin Moody: Dr. Justin Moody (https://www.justinmoodydds.com/) Dr. Justin Moody IG (https://www.instagram.com/jdmood71/) Dr. Justin Moody FB (https://www.facebook.com/justinmoodydds/) Dr. Justin Moody Twitter (https://twitter.com/drjustinmoody?lang=en) Dentists, Implants, and Worms Podcast (http://dentistsimplantsandworms.com/) Implant Pathway (https://www.implantpathway.com/) Implant Pathway FB (https://www.facebook.com/implantpathway/) Implant Pathway Youtube Channel Implant Pathway IG Voices of Dentistry (http://voicesofdentistry.com/) Connect with Russell: Dr. Russell Kirk (http://drrussellkirk.com/) Business of Dentistry Podcast (http://drrussellkirk.com/podcast) Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/businessofdentistrypodcast/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/businessofdentistry/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/businessdentist LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/business-of-dentistry/ *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.
