The vast majority of therapists and assistants did not go to college to either own a therapy practice or to manage a therapy practice or department. They went to college to become a therapist or assistant to work with patients who require therapy services. In addition, many therapists and assistants open a private practice or move into a management role with no experience and/or education in business. They are good at treating patients, but do not know how to read a P&L report, create a budget, understand what metrics to track and how often to track them, and when the budget is not achieved, why was it not achieved.
This webinar will teach participants what metrics should be tracked on a monthly basis as well as how to establish your budget for outpatient therapy services provided in calendar year 2023.
At the conclusion of this webinar presentation, participants will be able to:
- Identify what financial data to analyze (units, visits, evaluations, etc) and interpret this data to determine the financial success or failure of your practice/organization.
- Describe the difference between cancel/no show rates and arrival rates
- Understand the difference between cash and accrual accounting
- Discuss which metrics are most important when looking at your financial bottom line
- Recite the minimum profit margin a practice should have at the end of the year
