SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Kansas City\, MO
DESCRIPTION:Practice Models: Vision Vs. Medical\nDiscussion Outline:\nIn varying degrees\, optometric practices are moving towards the “medical model” that expands the scope of services offered to include conditions like glaucoma\, dry eye\, or AMD. \nAt our upcoming dinner we’ll sit down for a good meal and discuss practice models. Our discussion points may include: \n\nWhat are the best ways to transition to the medical model\, and what are the risks?\nHow can we best work with each type of insurance plan?\nHow might the anticipated shortage of OMDs impact private optometric practice?\nWill the medical model eventually be a necessity\, given continued consolidation and competition on the retail side of the optometric business?\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and 1-2 key staff Members per practice.  \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Oklahoma City\, OK
DESCRIPTION:Tracking For Success\nDiscussion Outline:\nWhile sometimes ‘gut perceptions’ of how our practices are performing are on the mark\, often certain salient aspects capture our attention more than others. It may seem\, anecdotally\, that contact lens fittings are on the uptick\, or that a certain demographic of customer is dropping off a bit\, etc.\, when other unseen trends are impacting our businesses more. \nMuch of the answer lies in tracking our practice’s key metrics. Using consistent benchmarks facilitates reasoned decision making that responds to our true strengths and weaknesses in the marketplace. Join us for our upcoming dinner\, where PECAA Business & Financial Advisor Tyler Judkins will join us as we discuss: \n\nUS averages versus Oklahoma City averages\nTypes of metrics: revenue\, optical\, staffing\, clinical\, etc. How do we best understand and group them?\nTools to record key metrics in real time\, including those in the PECAA portfolio (ex. SuccessTRACK) that supports more accurate and meaningful tracking.\nThe bottom line: using your metrics to improve the future performance of your practice.\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: Las Vegas\, NV
DESCRIPTION:Maximizing Success With or Without Vision Plans\nDiscussion Outline:\nWhat sets eye care practices apart from other health care specialties is juggling between providing vision care and medical care.
