2021-07-21 Add an Audiology Tech to Improve your Practice Outcomes

A major challenge faced today is the scheduling and process flow for ancillary medical professionals.  ENT practice outcomes are being negatively impacted by factors ranging from the scarcity of audiologists to the use of existing audiology resources.  Diagnostic and aural rehabilitative audiology appointments have decreased in length due to limited clinical resources.  As reimbursements decline, costs increase, and patient demand rises, patient triage by Audiology Technicians increase the practice’s cost effectiveness of patient care. Integration of a properly trained Aud. Tech alleviates the need for the audiologist to participate in the more mundane clinical testing thereby freeing them to focus on higher-level diagnostic and rehabilitative care.   Learn the keys to success in creating a team approach to patient care with an Aud. Tech as we explore the possible scopes of practice, practice culture shifts, training options and the most overlooked step with your current team.
