Private DSO – Operational Inefficiencies

Background

A private DSO was experiencing challenges with low patient bookings, high operational costs, high staff turnover, and poor staff attendance rates. The clinic was struggling to attract new patients, and their existing patients were not showing up for their appointments, resulting in significant financial losses. The clinic was also spending a considerable amount on staffing and administrative costs, which was putting a strain on their finances.

The Fractional CMO working with the in house marketing team launched an online marketing campaign, targeting potential patients through social media, search engines, and other online channels. The campaign was designed to highlight the clinic’s unique selling points, such as their expertise, high-quality care, and personalized approach.

To reduce operational costs, the agency implemented a series of automation tools and software solutions to streamline the clinic’s administrative processes. This included automating appointment scheduling, billing, and other administrative tasks, reducing the need for manual labor.
