87.5% Increase in Hearing Aid Evaluations

Discover how optimized documentation and processes contributed to an 87.5% increase in hearing aid evaluations.

Challenge

A multi-specialty clinic needed a more streamlined approach to its documentation and processes — which, at the time, may have been causing patient attrition — and could benefit from greater use of technology.

Solution

A comprehensive on-site assessment of the clinic’s cultural, operational, and financial operations uncovered key opportunities to help improve flow and conversion, streamline clinical decision making, and reduce patient attrition.

Results

Setting criteria for hearing aid candidates, determining core pricing levels for the audiology department, tightening up patient-documentation needs, and more helped increase hearing aid evaluations by 87.5%.

Streamlining documentation and processes were crucial in enhancing operational efficiency, improving patient care, and reducing risk of future errors for this multi-specialty clinic. Having clear and consistent procedures in place ensures that their staff are all on the same page, reducing confusion, missed steps, and miscommunication.

Audigy’s Strategic Business Unit (SBU) worked closely with clinic leadership to develop and implement changes within clinic that ultimately lead to 87.5% growth in hearing aid evaluations. These changes included:

  • Creation of Efficient Guidelines
    Creating guidelines to help ensure consistency in documentation, ordering, and scheduling of HAEs for hearing loss patients
  • Standardizing Pricing & Treatment Programs
    Solidifying audiology pricing, treatment plan and warranty approaches; evaluation of insurance contracts; and consideration of a patient-adoption plan for optimal patent care and profitability
  • Exclusive KPI Tracking Technology
    Leveraging technology such as Audigy’s exclusive Pulse platform to track conversions, sales, and other critical, actionable data
  • Professional Development
    Implementing Patients for Life®, including providing on-site training in Audigy’s proven process for delivering consistently exceptional patient experiences across providers and staff
