Are They Problems or Opportunities?!

Running a practice efficiently is no small task. Inflation, staffing challenges, and stagnant or reduced reimbursements are hitting practices harder than ever. SureFit is here to help turn these problems into opportunities—making your practice more efficient while enhancing patient care.

Focus on Opportunities That Enhance Care

If something is not working well in your office, consult with your staff to identify opportunities to streamline processes. Your staff is on the frontline and would welcome the opportunity to provide input for improvement, especially if it will help them be more effective in their role.

There are ways to cut costs that may hurt your practice. Don’t eliminate products and services that provide value simply to save a little money. The right technology and effective training (and staying up to date) can significantly improve office efficiencies by relieving staff of mundane tasks, allowing them to focus on more challenging tasks that require a human touch.

In addition, don’t skimp on the little things that make your staff feel appreciated. A few snacks, drinks, or coffee in the break room go a long way, and so does an honest “Thank you” for all the team does to make the practice run.

The following includes actionable strategies to address common pain points while staying focused on what matters most:

  1. Leverage Technology for Efficiency:

    Automating tedious tasks frees up your staff for more meaningful work. If your office is dispensing diabetic shoes and handling all the paperwork manually in-house, you know firsthand that it can be overwhelming and frustrating. SureFit’s Medicare Document Management (MDM) Program is designed to help your practice effectively collect, track, and store critical documents required for diabetic shoe and insert reimbursements. Streamlining this process reduces time spent chasing paperwork and avoids reimbursement delays—saving both time and money.

  2. Streamline Management of Supply Ordering:

    Implement task management tools to assign, track, and complete office tasks efficiently. With SureFit’s services, like their “Quick Order” tool, easy-to-use filters, C.Ped Fit Program, and comprehensive support, you can ensure your team focuses on patient care rather than administrative hurdles.

  3. Take Advantage of the SureFit+ Program and Save:

    The costs of the products used in your office are always top of mind. Maybe you’ve asked for a discount, or have a coupon code, or tried a GPO, but it wasn’t a good fit. SureFit makes saving on material costs simple with the SureFit+ Program. This program includes hundreds of high-quality products from trusted brands, all clinically approved and available at significant savings—no enrollment required for active customers. By leveraging SureFit+, you’ll improve your bottom line without sacrificing quality or patient satisfaction.

  4. Offer Over-the-Counter Products In-House:

    Instead of referring patients elsewhere, keep frequently recommended items like orthotics or compression socks in your office. SureFit’s comprehensive portfolio makes it easy to stock these items, improving convenience for your patients while keeping revenue in-house.
