When you’re planning your private practice, it’s easy to focus on everything you want to offer. But not everything has to happen on opening day.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to decide what belongs in your opening-day practice, what can come next, and what belongs on the “someday” list. You’ll also learn why every new service creates additional costs and workflows—and why being intentional about what you don’t offer can make your launch stronger.

A good clinic day starts before the first patient walks through the door.

This week, I’m sharing the morning huddle system we use every day at Anderson Family Care—and that I’m presenting on at MGMA. I’ll walk you through the five parts of our 15-minute huddle, how it helps us stay aligned, catch care gaps, reduce surprises, and build team culture.

Whether you’re planning your private practice or already seeing patients, this is one simple system you can put in place without spending a dime.

In this episode:

• The 5 parts of our daily morning huddle
• Why our huddle is non-negotiable
• How we use it to improve efficiency, quality, and communication
• How to create a huddle for your own practice

Sometimes improving your practice isn’t about buying another tool—it’s about being more intentional with the systems you already have.

HIPAA compliance is about more than having a privacy form at the front desk. As a private practice owner, you’re responsible for building the systems that protect patient information every day.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the practical side of HIPAA in private practice. From employee onboarding and ongoing training to patient forms, everyday clinic workflows, vendors and Business Associate Agreements, security risk assessments, and what to do when something goes wrong.

Whether you’re building an insurance-based, cash-pay, or direct primary care practice, this is one of those systems you want to get right from the beginning.
