In this episode of the ‘Go-To’ Physio podcast, Dave O’Sullivan discusses the importance of embracing a patient defined value-based outcomes culture in clinics. He emphasises the need for clinic owners and therapists to understand and prioritise patient expectations and perceived value over internal clinical outcomes. By focusing on how patients define value and ensuring that their expectations are met or exceeded, clinics can foster patient satisfaction, referrals, and overall success which leads to sustainable clinic growth. Dave provides actionable insights for implementing this culture within clinics and encourages reflection on current practices to enhance patient care and clinic management for true sustainable clinic growth and freedom for you as the clinic owner.
