Introductory Workshop

Mission Critical Lessons for Building a COVID Era Practice – Starting NOW

Aug. 6, 4:00pm EST
The challenges that functional, integrative, and metabolic practitioners have confronted in the first wave of the COVID crisis can be solved – and used as a springboard for growth. In this *just-released/new* Webinar we will review 5 lessons in fragility taught by COVID-19. We’ll also discover how to gain from disorder and the most important steps to take this summer to firmly establish your antifragile practice:
  • Recognize and establish your relevance to COVID-19
  • Establish antifragile revenue and engagement models
  • Seize the moment to re-launch with testing initiatives

The COVID-19 crisis has created an opportunity to allow me to develop a new Virtual Health Practice. I have been working with Tom and the Virtual Practices resources almost since the site launched. I have found the website tools, weekly webinars, and peer knowledge to be exceptional. My independent, nurse practitioner virtual health practice is focusing on prevention and respiratory resilience. Tom and the Virtual Practices website is incredibly helpful in allowing any provider to develop their own virtual practice through an easy step by step process. — Heather L. Soucy, NP

Workshop #1

Laying the Foundation for Success: Equip your practice to profitably adapt to changing circumstances while delighting your patients

Aug. 11, 4:00pm EST

The COVID Era requires practices to be flexible and adapt to the demands of the moment. To be successful, you need the right infrastructure, and telehealth is only one piece of the puzzle. In this workshop, we will walk through a practice self-assessment and highlight your top priorities for creating and mastering your COVID Era infrastructure with time to spare before the next COVID flare.

Workshop #2

Patient Engagement, Your Revenue Model, and Practice Fragility: Assessing and fixing your practice’s hidden vulnerability for the COVID Era

Aug. 13, 4:00pm EST
Your revenue model is about much more than making money. In this workshop we will explore how certain models undermine health outcomes, sabotage patient relationships, and create practice fragility. Then you will learn how to design the right model for your practice in the COVID Era.

Workshop #3

The Power of Bundled Programs: How to design, build, and price a bundled program – starting with COVID

Aug. 18, 4:00pm EST
When properly designed and implemented, packaged programs targeting specific health objectives are the best way to attract patients, hold their engagement through the episode of care, and optimize health outcomes. In this workshop, we will explore the foundational principles for building a high-performing program – starting with your COVID package.

It was so great to hear about the VirtualPractices programs for COVID-19 testing, treatment, and prevention! I’ve connected with Tom a few times in the past and have been impressive every time I hear him speak. Tom’s ability to effectively describe the flaws in our health care system and the ability for functional medicine practitioners to correct them and simultaneously grow a thriving practice/business is incredible. I would be thrilled to collaborate on a webinar for employers in our community (and/or the public at large) about these testing and prevention programs. — Scott Noorda, D.O., Resolve Medical – a Prime Meridian Health Clinic

Workshop #4

The Critical Role of Testing in the COVID Era: Unlocking opportunities and re-igniting patient engagement

Aug. 20, 4:00pm EST
The topic of testing has been a central theme in 2020, and it will remain incredibly important to your practice planning as you look forward into the COVID Era. In this workshop, we will explore ways to apply your knowledge of COVID testing to re-ignite – and grow your practice. And we will investigate opportunities to use and implement testing in new and creative ways in the COVID Era.

Workshop #5

Launch: Re-starting and growing your practice in the COVID Era

Aug. 25, 4:00pm EST
In this workshop, we put everything together to determine how to re-open, re-launch, and use the summer months to create antifragility in your patient relationships. We will also analyze the ways that you can use your COVID program and your command of COVID testing and immune support to open new doors to practice growth.

Thank you for introducing me to the content by virtualpractices.org. I will be attending all of the upcoming workshops. These times have presented unprecedented challenges and opportunities for the entire spectrum of the healthcare community. The approach and set of tools virtualpractices.org are providing have the potential to significantly impact my efforts to improve the health and well-being of my patients and community. — Howard Schwartz, MD, FACC, IntegrativeCardiology.com
