Elliot Zibel on How Data Can Retain 96% Of Your Doctors

Are the quality care metrics of dentistry being used the way they should? Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), not. In this episode of The Dental Economist Show, host Mike Huffaker sits down with Elliot Zibel, founder of ClariFi Health to explore how data-driven decision-making is transforming dental group operations. From leveraging AI for practice analytics to implementing strategic quality metrics in hygiene departments, they unpack practical strategies for driving predictable growth. Profit and purpose don’t need to be mutually exclusive; this conversation offers insight into the strategies that allow them to coexist, and practices to thrive. #dentaleconomist #dsoleadership #dentaltechnology If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, like, and comment📱 Chapters: [00:00] Intro [01:38] Building a DSO from Scratch: Select Dental [06:04] The Power of a Retention-First Approach [09:50] The Tech-Forward Story: ClariFi Health Analytics [14:34] How Data Can Transform Dental Care [21:33] The Importance of Making Analytics Actionable [29:14] Defending Against Data Overload: Focused Implementation & Prioritization [33:18] Using LLMs & Seamless Integration for Success [39:55] The Case for Standardization in Dental Practice Management [46:18] Getting Data Integration and Aggregation Right [50:13] The Future of Dental Is Through Quality Care, AI, and Automation Connect with the team: 👉 Mike Huffaker on LinkedIn:   / huffaker   👉 Elliot Zibel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elliot-zi... 👉 ClariFi Health Website: https://www.clarifi.health/ You can also listen to our podcast here: 👉 Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/3SeeOfY 👉 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3tMmaO7 👉 Fame Host: https://bit.ly/4aQNQ51 Want to be a guest on The Dental Economist Show?
