Volumes 337 to 341 positioned intentional team training as another Golden Rule application that embeds many competitive advantages. When Motivated Leadership believes Culture is Communication, they commit to Educate Well Monthly (EWM) Team Meetings, which bring our Teachable Trio of Pearls of Wisdom™, educational handouts and Let’s Talk protocols to life.
Step by step, your team’s subject matter expertise is destined to gain confidence and get results.
| | Now, this encore episode serves as a refresher on how to initiate patients’ “visual training” when they walk in the front door. From the start, see how your big-screen TV presents eye-catching opportunities as an educational networking catalyst. @ a glance, empathize with what’s on viewer’s mind and establish decision-making proactivity pathways. | | |
Step 1. Patient and Listening Companion’s Arrival:
Make educational intentions evident.
| | | |
Volume 301 asserted:
“Logically, we know reception areas are where patient journeys initiate.”
Picture a first-time patient: drive up, park, enter, look around, get familiar and check in.
As Volume 302 reminded us, “From patients’ vantage points, see their sights and anticipate their queries.”
For so many seeking your expert care, this new experience elicits anxiety and poses many questions. Since (100s or 1000s of times per year) we never have 2nd chances to make 1st impressions, your reception area is your first classroom.
| | |
Step 2. Look Up:
Be Purposeful, Not Random
| | | |
Get the Picture? “When walls are blank or generic, those in chairs may sit with blank stares.”
Lacking proprietary content to display, too many practices turn off their big screens. All too often, sights unseen are wasted opportunities. Alternatively, wanting to “just do something,” generically programmed big screens show weather reports, national news, and unrelated medical topics. Progressive Practices recognize that one-size-fits-all mass media is NOT the right fit. Instead, without distracting commercials, channel wait time into learning time with our Big Screens, Eyes on Education™ program:
- Practice-branded, professionally designed slides
- Timely topics aligned with national health observances
- Thought-provoking visuals and calls to action
| | |
Step 3. Learn Ahead:
In Sight, In Mind
| | | |
Each month, your Big Screen slides loop the same Did You Know? topic your team just trained on. Pearls of Wisdom™, educational handout and Let’s Talk protocols all match, so patients see it, Team Members discuss it and informative pathways sync. Thoughtful repetition has positive impact.
During EWM meetings in the preceding month’s last week, preview the upcoming month’s slides. In just 5 minutes, your team sees what patients will see. As the new month begins, your screen refreshes and everyone is well prepared to be on the same page(s).
This opens the Educational Funnel from Volume 303: Awareness, Education, Consultation.
When patients pre-learn about how hearing health connects to medically relevant Did You Know? topics, Better Hearing is Better Healthcare dialogue feels familiar rather than new. Indeed, their head start is wise, right before their eyes.
While your big screen sets the Health Literacy tone, two must-see designs strengthen your reception area messaging program:
- The Art of Hearing, which broadcasts your scope of practice, and
- Hearing Health Education Center, featuring Pick 6 selections
| | With this transformative trio, patients discover your practice’s intent to teach is within readily accessible reach. Consider these visual catalysts as open invitations to learn well. Once again, as knowledgeable foundations get tuned in, sound advice amplifies impact. | | Step 4. Caring Conversations. Well-Prepared Questions. | | | Patients who learn in advance tend to arrive at points of testing more curious than anxious. Visionary Practices recognize educated patients are their best hearing health partners for life. With this truth, guiding better questions and confident answers results in higher help rates, along with more wellness referrals. Virtuous cycles benefit all involved: | | |
