How do I go about passing the Allied Health Services (AHS) Standard and getting ACC EPN Accreditation?
Assess your EPN Readiness
What are the Benefits of EPN?
Improve your Profitability
EPN not only attracts customers, it streamlines your creditor system AND applications for obtaining Activity Based Programmes contracts. Also, efficient, workable and reliable processes are the key to ensuring your practice's profitability.Free up Your Time
Good systems take some effort to establish, but they free up your time once they're in place.
Become more Independent
Good business systems will make your business stronger, more efficient and easier to run. If circumstances prevent you from working in the business for a time - there will be a much smaller impact.
Increase your Business Value
The simple fact is that because the systems are fully documented, anyone (including a new owner) can come in and work to tried and true processes.
