What do you attribute your success to?

• The 3 P’s: Prospective data collection, Periodically reviewing our results, and then making Practice changes. It is easy to think we are doing the best job we can, but unless you keep up with the results of your work, you can’t really know. Making sure to spend time monitoring our surgical results and making changes when something isn’t perfect is the best way to ensure our patients are getting the top-quality care they deserve.
