It helped thousands of practices for over 30 years!

FREE PRACTICE ANALYSIS: A BRIEF OVERVIEW

We at First Rate Hiring conduct a FREE PRACTICE ANALYSIS that is followed by an added service that is available to you: A FULL PRACTICE ANALYSIS. It is a service that was done in thousands of medical practices in the past 30 years – a very powerful evaluation tool that will show you ALL the problems and shortcomings of your practice.

This service will give you the “State of the Union” of your practice, will show you WHO or WHAT is messing it up and deprives you of income.

It is better to bring new good candidates into a better functioning business, or into a business that at least has the roadmap for expansion – something which is very important to good candidates.

Instructions

The majority of the points in this assessment are written as absolute statements. You will need to answer “Yes” if the statement is true for your business, or “No” if it is not. For example, you might read a statement similar to “More than 20 employees work at our practice.” If this statement is true for your company, you would answer “Yes”. If it is not, the answer “No.”

If you are unsure as to whether the answer is “Yes” or “No”, you can answer “Maybe”. For example, for the statement: “We always know how much it will require to…” – if you are not sure, you would want to answer “Maybe.”

To respond to each statement mark one of the radio buttons in one of the three columns: “Yes”, “Maybe” or “No”. This assessment is not a test of your knowledge. To get the best analysis, we don’t want to get answers on how things should be, but how the situation actually IS right now.

When finished filling out the test just click the ‘SEND’ button and your answers will be forwarded to us. In a day or so we will contact you to go over the results.
