No matter how busy you may be in the daily grind of your dental practice it’s important to gather together as a team on a regular basis to determine how well your practice systems are working.
Jameson teams use the 25 systems of a dental practice that Jameson has pinpointed and they rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being poor; 10 being excellent. Everyone rates the systems individually; then the group tallies their scores and studies the averages. This acts as a measurement tool and a compass on where to focus your attention as a team for practice improvement and continuous growth.
