The High-Performance Practice, Ep. 6: Optimize Staffing Ratios To Maximize Profit

Staffing Ratios: How to Build a Leaner, More Profitable Practice

Payroll is one of the biggest expenses in a private practice and when staffing gets out of control, profitability can disappear quickly.

In Episode 6 of the High-Performance Practice Series, Nathan Shields and Adam Robin break down how practice owners can properly calibrate their clinical and administrative teams to maximize performance, efficiency, and profit.

Instead of simply hiring another person whenever the team feels overwhelmed, they discuss how to use financial benchmarks, productivity metrics, technology, AI, and virtual assistants to build a more efficient practice.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why employee compensation can be your practice's biggest expense How to keep total employee compensation within a healthy revenue ratio The 2.5–3.5x compensation-to-revenue productivity benchmark Why hiring another person isn't always the solution How to create and manage an admin staffing budget Why every practice needs to be evaluated based on its own financials How technology and virtual assistants can reduce administrative costs How to simplify and eliminate unnecessary processes Why constraints can create innovation How AI can improve patient communication and scheduling How virtual assistants can support your front desk How to determine when your front desk needs additional support Why keeping operations lean can improve profitability How technology can help practices maintain a cleaner revenue cycle Why practice owners need to continuously test, measure, and improve their systems

The goal isn't simply to have fewer employees. It's to build a high-performing team with the right people doing the right work at the right cost.

If you want to build a practice that is more efficient, profitable, and scalable, this episode is for you.

Don't just hire more people. Build better systems.
