Does your practice need a facelift?

Hey there folks, my name is Keith Reynolds, I’m the editor of Physicians Practice and this is the P2 Management Minute. Let’s give your practice a fast, patient-pleasing facelift in three steps.

1. Map the patient journey

Walk the exact path from check-in to checkout. Spot bottlenecks, add self-rooming stations, and create clear wayfinding. Smoother flow means on-time visits, fewer complaints, and happier clinicians.

2. Choose calming colors

Skip stress-inducing reds and yellows. Opt for muted greens, blues, or warm neutrals. A simple repaint can lower anxiety and boost positive feedback almost overnight.

3. Layer the lighting

Combine neutral-white overhead LEDs with warm sconces and dimmable exam lights. Bright, welcoming reception—soft, glare-free clinical zones. Better visibility, less eye strain.

Map the journey, calm with color, layer the light—three quick ways to refresh any practice. For more bite-size practice tips and tricks make sure you visit PhysiciansPractice.com.

Thanks for watching I’ll see you tomorrow on the P2 Management Minute!
