Jay Kaplan, MD, medical director of The Studer Group and president-elect for CEP America Emergency Physician Partners, shared strategies to help multi-specialty practices thrive in difficult times while staying true to their medical healthcare model. Several sessions explored ways to optimize the consumer appeal of a comprehensive care approach within the framework of a qualified and trusted clinical setting.

Interactive workshops focused on the needs of medical-based practices for resources, training and business strategies. Participants discussed ways to ensure a successful patient experience, exploring the newest research and techniques to strengthen interpersonal relationships between the patient and clinical staff.

“In an increasingly competitive environment that tends to commoditize the consumer experience at the expense of quality care, multi-disciplinary practices are in a unique position to satisfy consumer demand for quality, personalized hearing healthcare,” said Oticon President Peer Lauritsen. “Our goal is to empower the entire multi-specialty team with the resources and tools needed to optimize their audiology practice for excellence and growth.”
