What should your patient education accomplish?

Educate Your Patient:

First and foremost, educate your patient! It is important to know that your patient is researching their treatment and your practice before they come into your office. It is up to you to help guide that research and endure your patient is receiving correct information.

Make Appointments More Efficient:

Do you find that during each cataract evaluation your doctors and staff spend a long time explaining the difference in lens types only to have your patient be worn out from the appointment to fully understand the options? Your patient education should help position treatment options to the patient before their appointment so they come in with pertinent questions. This will greatly reduce time requirements of your doctors and staff while driving premium conversions.

Elicit a Response from Your Patient:

Patient Education should not be a one-way street. In your patient education, give the patient the ability to tell you would their lifestyle is like and what post-operative results are important to them. This will give you staff the ability to make a more personal impact on the patient and better position upgraded treatment options that help the patient reach their visual goals.
