Overview

Every practice is feeling the economic crunch at some level or another. In times like these, it is tempting to take short cuts, watching the bottom line, and ignoring the consequences.

While increasing revenue to your practice is a needed focus, are you watching how much potential revenue could be going out the back door of your practice such as employee and/or customer lawsuits? Do you know how much of your hard earned revenue could be heading out the door?

In this interview Linda Harvey covers the following:

  • We look at trimming back employee hours or employees, but who's thinking of potential ramifications or watching out for consequences?
  • How should any practice go about designing a risk management strategy?
  • Why should we focus on risk management?
  • While everyone is busy watching the front door, who's watching the back door, so that those hard earned profits are not needlessly lost to fine, penalties, or customer complaints?
  • Who safeguards the back door and protects the entire office?
  • The 6 areas of risk management, the Risk Domains
    1. Strategic
    2. Financial
    3. Operational
    4. Legal/regulatory
    5. Technology
    6. Human Capital
