Our memories are typically not an average of the experience or the amount of time we were engaged in the situation.<\/p>\n<p>We can actually be irrational in our recollection and memory of events.\u00a0 Our memories consist of a series of highpoints rather than a thorough record of facts and events.<\/p>\n<p>We won\u2019t know what the peak experience will be that will impact our team or patients.\u00a0 However, we can plan the end experience.\u00a0 Which is why it is imperative for the team to end the day on a high.\u00a0 It is even more important than how we start our day.\u00a0 Same with our patients.\u00a0 We must not only welcome them warmly we must also have a warm farewell.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the team.\u00a0 What can you do at the end of the day that will make a more positive end experience?\u00a0 Maybe a heartfelt thank you, a high five for a job well done or even taking a moment to do a TA-DAH together!<\/p>\n<p>The end experience for your patients usually involves paying their bill or a future bill.\u00a0 Many patients have a difficult time parting with their money, which is why it is so important that the process flows smoothly.\u00a0 Otherwise, it can become a negative end experience if handled poorly.\u00a0 Which is why it is so essential that you have a confident and knowledgeable team member having the financial conversation.\u00a0 Doctors you may have built rapport with the patient and they are excited to move forward with treatment.\u00a0 Only to have it end at the financial discussion.<\/p>\n<p>It is so important to role play this experience.\u00a0 Also, make sure you have the tools you need to have a successful conversation.\u00a0 My favorite tool is the Payment Options Form that Care Credit offers.\u00a0 I love that you can customize it to include only the payment options you want to offer.\u00a0 The form is so organized even a brand-new team member could confidently review payment options and sound very professional and knowledgeable.\u00a0 It also includes all the legal information you will need to make payments arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>You can find it at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecredit.com\/providercenter\/contactcenter\/\">https:\/\/www.carecredit.com\/providercenter\/contactcenter\/<\/a>.\u00a0 Enter the code JKM and request information on the Payment Options Form.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few steps to take to ensure not only a positive experience but a WOW end experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Delineate the final patient experience<\/li>\n<li>Discuss and agree on verbiage and flow<\/li>\n<li>Practice role playing and the physical walk through to build confidence and competence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever the end experience; following these simple steps will help ensure it is a WOW experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love helping dental teams co-create a happier, healthier, and higher performing service culture.\u00a0 Our culture is a result of practicing a consistent set of values to deliver consistent experiences.\u00a0 However, not all experiences are not judged equally according to the peak-end rule!
