Continuing with the last vid’s sporting theme, I’m also a big fan of snooker – a cue sports game played on a table bigger than used for pool.

The snooker reference occurred to when I made my 147th video last week – 147 being the maximum break in snooker. (108 points higher than my own highest break).

Aside from being a content or idea generation possibility, the concept of constructing a maximum break in snooker has some parallels for patient recruitment and retention.

At the outset, we can see all the available elements we have to work with, and have a set of guidelines and rules to follow.

We know from past experience that specific actions will lead to specific results. And we should be looking at our next action before we complete our current one.

And underlying it all is that it’s rare for everything to come together perfectly, so we should have contingencies in place for when they don’t.
