SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Irvine\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Developing a Medical Model Practice\n\n\nThe Medical Model Practice of Optometry has made tremendous strides in the medical eye care segment. No longer is our scope of practice confined to comprehensive eye exams – rather it has evolved – allowing us to treat medical conditions such as glaucoma\, dry eyes and ARMD. In a competitive marketplace\, adopting a medical model can help position the practice toward additional revenue streams\, increase patient retention and improved patient care. \nAre you interested in providing medical services\, but not sure how to start? Have you implemented specific medical services\, but not sure how to get the most out of them? Join us as we focus on implementing and building the medical optometry model. Among our discussion points: \n\n\nWhat medical services are we successfully providing\, would like to begin providing or have challenges implementing? (Glaucoma\, dry eye\, ARMD\, diabetes\, etc.)\nTools for success: What equipment do I need? Is my staff properly trained? How do I educate my patients?\nGetting paid for what you do: Billing and coding strategies\, insurance credentialing.\nBuilding a referral system and marketing your medical services.\n\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and 2-3 key staff members. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Denver\, CO
DESCRIPTION:Knowing Your Numbers (KPIs)\nSo-called “gut perceptions” of how our practices are performing may or may not be on the mark. Certain activities may capture our attention more than others. We may think contact lens fittings are on the uptick\, or that we’re not seeing as many new patients as before\, when in fact other unseen trends are impacting our bottom line more. \nThat’s where Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) come in. Using consistent benchmarks facilitates reasoned decision making that responds to our true strengths and weaknesses in the marketplace. At our upcoming dinner\, Tyler Judkins*\, PECAA Business & Financial Advisor\, will join us as we focus on KPIs. Among our discussion points: \n\nTypes of Metrics: revenue\, optical\, staffing\, clinical.  Which ones are you measuring now?\nTools to record key metrics in real time\, including those in the PECAA portfolio (e.g. SuccessTrack) that support more accurate and meaningful tracking.\nApplying metrics analysis to direct real changes in your practice.\nU.S. Averages versus Colorado Averages.\nCash Flow versus Profitability.\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and managers. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Jacksonville\, FL
DESCRIPTION:Knowing Your Numbers (KPIs)\nOur so-called “gut perceptions” of how our practices are performing may or may not be on the mark. Certain activities may capture our attention more than others. We may think contact lens fittings are on the uptick\, or that we’re not seeing as many new patients as before\, when in fact other unseen trends are impacting our bottom line more. \nThat’s where Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) come in. Using consistent benchmarks facilitates reasoned decision making that responds to our true strengths and weaknesses in the marketplace. At our upcoming dinner\, Tyler Judkins\, PECAA’s Business & Financial Advisor\, will join us as we focus on KPIs. Among our discussion points: \n\nTypes of Metrics: revenue\, optical\, staffing\, clinical. Which ones are you measuring now?\nTools to record key metrics in real time\, including those in the PECAA portfolio (e.g. SuccessTrack) that support more accurate and meaningful tracking.\nApplying metrics analysis to direct real changes in your practice.\nU.S. Averages versus Florida Averages.\nCash Flow versus Profitability.\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and staff members who handle practice financials. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Merchandising & Marketing Workshop: Las Vegas\, NV
DESCRIPTION:Merchandising & Marketing Your Optical Workshop\nAccording to the MBA Practice Profile\, frame\, lens\, and contact lens sales account for 60 percent of total revenue\, making it the largest single source of revenue in an independent optometric practice. When lens products and frame inventory is strategic\, the optical can be a profit center. On the contrary\, when there is no form of inventory management\, merchandising\, or marketing in place\, some of the important choices required for success are not made consciously. \nWe invite Doctors\, Managers\, Spectacle Opticians\, Contact Lens Opticians and Paraoptometric Technicians to a half-day Merchandising & Marketing Workshop designed to give attendees a better understanding on the process of merchandising\, creating compelling frame displays and managing frame inventory in order to maximize profitability. \nThe workshop is open to PECAA Members & non-Members and is 100% free to attend. Earn COPE\, ABO\, NCLE and CPC credit. \nWe hope to see you there! \nREGISTER NOW \nVIEW AGENDA
