"Good criticism is very rare and always precious. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
After practicing for a few years, we tend to get into a rut. This is why it’s a good idea to step back and critically appraise your practice every year . You can use the following criteria in order to do so objectively. If you can request another doctor to do this for you, this is even better. Critical patients can also help you improve , provided you don’t get defensive when they censure you. Use their feedback constructively to improve the care you provide to your patients !
a. General Clinic Facilities
Is the area big enough? What about the design, atmosphere, cleanliness, maintenance? Are the waiting rooms comfortable? Do the patients feel pampered? Do the examination rooms offer privacy? Are they well-equipped? Are the toilets clean? easily accessible?
b. Telephone System
Are their enough incoming lines? Are phones answered promptly and politely? Are fax, e-mail services available? Is there a scheduled call back time or other means of returning calls? Is there a system to ensure incoming messages are appropriately directed and acknowledged? Do patients know how to contact you after the clinic is closed in case of emergency?
c. Appointment System
Does it satisfactorily accommodate patients? Is there a very long waiting list? Do you keep to your appointment schedule? Is there a system to accommodate urgent or emergency appointments? Is there provision for coverage after the clinic is closed?
d. Filing System
Is the filing system efficient and accessible?How are the charts coded? Is there a system to avoid mis-filing?
e. Medical Instruments and Equipment
Is the equipment modern and uptodate? Are appropriate sterilization procedures in place? Is there a system for managing biomedical waste?
f. Drug Supplies and Samples
Are appropriate drugs available and properly stored? Is there a proper system for maintaining current list of drugs on hand and monitoring expiration dates Are narcotics and other controlled drugs stored securely?
g. Emergency Facilities
Is the emergency medical cart appropriately stocked, centrally stored, and readily available? Does the staff know what to do in the event of an emergency or disaster?
h. Laboratory Investigations
What type of investigations are available? Are they accessible on-site or close by? Is quality control maintained? Are the results verified? checked? recorded properly?
i. Personnel
Is there enough staff for running the clinic smoothly? Are they well trained? Do they work well with each other? Are regular staff meetings held to trouble shoot problems?
Are there documented job descriptions and office policies? k. Miscellaneous Observations

Benchmarking Your Medical Practice
While the term benchmarking may be unfamiliar, it’s something doctors do all the time to improve their clinical skills. We compare and observe skilled and experienced surgeons, for example, so we can learn their superior surgical techniques - and in exactly the same way, benchmarking is a business technique which analyses successful competitors to determine the indicators of business success , and then applies that information to achieving business growth and improvement for yourself. For doctors benchmarking is a way of taking a critical look or "snapshot" of your practice's health. It provides you with an objective way to measure your practice's performance, and to compare it with others’, so that you can learn from the best practices of the leaders.
Clinics have also used benchmarking to improve their clinical protocols. Thus, leading IVF clinics collaborate with each other and compare their techniques and pregnancy rates, so that they can learn from each other, and adopt the techniques which give the best results.
Benchmarking is an excellent tool for assessing the health of your practice and detecting problems as early as possible. Remember that you can learn a lot from other successful doctors – and benchmarking will allow everyone to improve ! Thus, if you are reluctant to share information with your local “competition”, you might want to benchmark with a colleague in another city, whose specialty and practise size is similar to yours. Rather than compete with each other, you can collaborate to create a win-win situation !
Your way of explaining everything in this article is in fact good, every one can without difficulty be aware of it, Thanks a lot.
