Janis du Pratte and Terry Goss<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Imagine your patients willingly helped you design their treatment plans, rather than dragging their feet (or not showing up at all) as you try to improve their dental health. There really are ways to get patients excited about following through with their treatment, and today’s guest is eager to share how you can bring this patient commitment\u00a0to your practice.<\/p>\n

On this episode, we talk about taking patient-centered care to a new level through facilitation. Janis du Pratte and her business partner Terry Goss specialize in coaching and building teams dedicated to patients’ comprehensive care.<\/p>\n

Janis illuminates\u00a0the differences between the expert and facilitation models in dentistry. While the expert model is what many dentists practice — telling their patients what they\u00a0should\u00a0<\/em>do — Janis advocates for a facilitator in the office\u00a0who\u00a0can tap into the values and desires of patients. By doing this, you can finally move patients from mere compliance with your\u00a0advice to making a commitment to overall better dental health.<\/p>\n

Janis also walks us through the three levels of patient outcome, and how to help your patients see the relevance of your care to their overall quality of life.<\/p>\n

To wrap up, Janis takes several questions from our listeners.\u00a0We lost track of time on this call (it’s jam-packed with insights from Janis), so if you have any follow-up questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Janis yourself!<\/p>\n
