Practice Tips

Investing in marketing is key to successful long-term results when you grow your eye care practice. Setting time aside for marketing can be challenging when you're busy taking care of operational and patient care initiatives.
Keeping your eye care practice safe from cybersecurity attacks, phishing scams, and cloud data breaches can come at a high cost in many ways. Cybercriminals are becoming more advanced in their approach, and healthcare providers need to ensure protecting their patient data is a top priority.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to re-evaluate what they want and need from their jobs. Money is definitely a factor, but eye care staff are increasingly considering things like mental health, child care challenges, and company culture in their decisions about where they will spend their work lives.
In today’s digital world, people don’t need to watch or listen to ads on social media. Many will scroll or fast forward past them. So how do optometry offices attract and sell to new patients? To stay relevant today and engage patients, it’s critical to maintain a strong social media presence.
Every eye care practice gets to decide the values, expectations, and atmosphere they want to set for their workplace. These decisions define the work culture that makes your practice unique from the rest when hiring eye care staff. Your new employees will get to decide if they want to be a part of this culture within their first few weeks of starting.
When patients come into your practice, will they receive a complete eye care experience from you and your staff? Unfortunately, many patients who come in for their eye exam leave without being fully informed about the eyewear available to purchase—which will negatively affect your optical capture rate.
2020 brought a multitude of changes, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the board, businesses have made substantial adjustments to continue running operations and meet the needs of the people they serve.
