The Business of a Clinic (BOAC)
The Business of a Clinic (BOAC) is a podcast for private healthcare leaders who want to run not just a great clinic, but a great business. Each episode explores the overlooked commercial side of healthcare — how to grow revenue, improve patient retention, fill empty calendars, and build high-performing front-office teams.
Hosted by the team at Coherent and led by founder Jared Aaron, we sit down weekly with clinic owners, practice managers, and industry experts to unpack the real challenges behind no-shows, cancellations, and disengaged patients, and share practical frameworks and playbooks that any clinic can apply.
If you’re a private healthcare operator such as dentist, aesthetic practitioner, chiropractor, physio, or private GP looking to bridge the gap between excellent care and effective business operations, this is your roadmap to running a clinic that thrives — for your patients, your staff, and your bottom line.
The show is hosted by Coherent: Coherent Healthcare is a Clinic Revenue Winback company, helping private healthcare practices unlock hidden revenue. By rebooking no-shows, cancellations, and lapsed patients — and by simplifying how clinics collect payments — Coherent enables practitioners to fill their diaries, improve cashflow, and focus more on patient care.
