Creating a Dental Office for Impact: Enhance Workflow and Improve Efficiency
By: Kirstie Savinski, Marketing Manager - Dental Events, Henry Schein Dental
Does your office workflow enhance your team’s work or does it create unnecessary bottlenecks? Have you considered renovating or building but unsure how to begin? Is financing holding you back?
Get all your questions answered at the Midmark ImpactDesign Seminar, a small-group seminar where you get to interact one-on-one with industry experts who will answer questions, assist in solving design challenges, and help turn your vision into a reality.
This popular two-day seminar will be held in cities around the country on the following dates:
Versailles, OH (Aug. 15 – Aug. 16)
Wilmington, NC (Sept. 12 – Sept. 13)
New York, NY (Sept. 27)
Las Vegas, NV (Oct. 24 – Oct. 25)
Newport, RI (Nov. 7 – Nov. 8)
Why Dental Office Design Matters An ideal workflow increases efficiency, reduces miscommunication and waste, and enhances patient comfort. However, few practices are built for the patient experience or to optimize the work of the clinical team. Many practitioners move into pre-existing spaces and make the work fit the space. And, let’s not forget about personal brand. Rarely does a practice’s appearance and ambiance truly reflect the brand of the practitioner.
The Midmark ImpactDesign Seminar, led by Jeff Carter, DDS, and his interior designer wife Pat Carter, IIDA, of Practice Design Group, and sponsored by Midmark Corporation, can help you build or redesign your practice for optimal workflow and enhanced patient comfort, with your personal brand in mind. The Carters have produced 16 national dental office design winners and led more than 300 dental seminars to help dentists improve their practices.
“Today’s dental office needs to be more than just a space to treat patients. It needs to be a statement,” says Jeff Carter, DDS. “Few are designed for the efficiency of the clinical team or patient comfort. Pat and I look at spaces differently. We were asked specifically to create a place where dentists can think through difficult design issues, ask specific questions, understand choices and come out with a vision. That’s how we came up with ImpactDesign.”
Let the Transformation Begin ImpactDesign, formerly known as Emerge Stronger, is a popular Henry Schein educational event hosted year-after-year. Transformation of a dental practice does not happen overnight; it involves time and careful planning. If you are thinking about remodeling or building a new, more efficient dental office that reflects your brand, this seminar will provide you with the information and confidence you need to take next steps. Participants are encouraged to bring floor plans to the course for review and input by the Carters.
Course objectives include: • Clarifying your dental practice vision • Identifying specific functional and aesthetic criteria specific to your practice • Recognizing and applying design principles, including floor plan zoning • Recognizing typical inefficiencies and common dental office design mistakes • Considering plan options to optimize your space and selection of performance-driven interior finish materials and lighting
The $299 fee for this seminar includes the two-day educational event, overnight stay, food and beverage, take-home collateral, and exclusive access to the Midmark.com/toolkit, as well as nine continuing education credits upon completion, from the Practice Design Group.
