Training at a Glance
Day 1 AM: Your LOOP training begins! Your LOOP Trainer will report to your office at designated start time. Please organize your admin team and designated LOOP champion. You have the option to hold a “team meeting” and have all team members (including doctors) present during your installation, which is approximately 2 to 3 hours. Should you opt out of an entire team training, your pre-work is critical and we recommend you schedule a 1 hour meeting with trainers and doctors. Your Straumann TM is invited and encouraged to attend.
Day 1 PM and Day 2: Begin implementations in referral practices. These sessions are 45-60 minutes and do not require downtime for your referring office. See example scheduling below and script. LOOP champion will carry out implementations with LOOP trainer side by side and once training is complete carry on thereafter. Your LOOP trainer will assist you in designing a strategic plan for onboarding additional referrals.
Tips on how to schedule your referrals
Schedule referral installation sessions with 8-10 referrals. Keep in mind travel time and flow as each session takes 45-60 min and figuring commute time between each office.
Here is an example of how most practices schedule their installations with referring offices. The template below allows for approximately 20-30 min travel time between each referring office.
- Day 1: 1:00; 2:30; 4:00
- Day 2: 8:00; 9:30; 11:00; 12:30; 2:00; 3:30
What we have found to be most effective in scheduling is to speak from the heart and share why you chose to give them this gift to streamline communication and ultimate patient care.
- "Because you are a valued partner in ultimate patient care we have chosen to give your practice the ultimate in communication called LOOP. LOOP is a user friendly, HIPPA compliant, cloud-based (meaning you don’t have to download anything on your computer) communication platform between your practice and ours. We would love to spend 45 minutes to an hour to show you LOOP and if you like it we will get you set up! There is no downtime for your office required, you can continue business as usual. We are going to be learning this together and we know you will work with us and give us great feedback.”
