JODI JACKS A TEAM THAT LEARNS TOGETHER GROWS TOGETHER I mplementing a new procedure or service in the practice requires a team effort if it’s truly going to gain traction and be successful. When you introduced Invisalign, the hygienists needed to learn how to identify the right patient candidates. Your front desk had to understand how to schedule these patients. How did you bill it? What kind of records did you need? It was work that required teamwork. Implementing Dental Sleep Medicine is no different. Over the past 15 years I’ve met hundreds of dentists that have attended DSM CE courses, with and without their teams. If she didn’t bring her team, she wished she did. After the course, she said she wanted to start screening, testing, treating and billing for OAT. However, she needed to get her team involved. She promised she’d get her team to a course or two and then DSM would go gangbusters. Guess what happened next? Life happened. There wasn’t a course within 300 miles for another 6 months. It wasn’t a well-regarded one either. You got busy and your DSM interest was placed on the backburner. On low. Unattended. So, then what happened? Patients went unidentified, undiagnosed, and untreated. She missed hundreds of opportunities to help patients and hundreds of opportunities to boost production. “When you sign up with DS3, you’re not just getting a software package. You are joining a team that provides tremendous knowledge and experience to help you treat your patients. They will motivate, educate, train, and encourage your team all the way to success.” Dr. James Cannon, Sarasota, FL If you are ready to implement Dental Sleep Medicine into your practice, call me today at 1-877- 957-6673, Option 1 or email me at [email protected]. What’s the solution then? What could she do? What if t here was a solution that eliminated these constraints and provided world-class DSM education at a low cost from the comfort of the office? No flights, no pricey hotels, no expensive tuition, and no overtime? Most dental practices dedicate as little as 90 minutes per week for 4 weeks to complete the 4 Module Curriculum. Many DS3 Members have patients into OSA treatment plans before they even finish with the 4th Module. DS3 Members are implementing DSM quicker and more efficiently than ever. Online training modules, regularly scheduled sessions with dedicated Member Support Experts, and bi-weekly study club sessions are just a few features of the DS3 Experience. The solution is the DS3 Experience. This one of a kind implementation program from Dental Sleep Solutions provides practices with the Education, Coaching, Software, and Support they need to successfully implement the 4 Pillars of Dental Sleep Medicine; Screening, Testing, Treating, and Billing. The DS3 Experience provides all the training and support that dental practices need to implement DSM. JODI JACKS Member Development Specialist
