\u201cAudiology departments should never just exist in homeostasis\u2014operations and procedures should always be improved and elevated for the good of the patient while keeping in mind the revenue of the practice.\u201d<\/p>\nRose DuLude, Ph.D., CCC-A, FAAA<\/span>Director of Audiology<\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tracking KPIs\u2014What Gets Measured, Gets Managed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most audiologists aren\u2019t aware of how crucial tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) are for the success of their business. Metrics, including gross revenue, units sold and average sale price, can provide you with a baseline of your practice\u2019s financial health and offer insight into where you can make growth-oriented changes. We can help you track additional dynamic metrics and analyze data at a deeper level to identify opportunity areas you may not be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access Hearing Discount Program:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • We know you are looking for new ways to compete and offer your patients affordable options. One concern that we see in the market is people discounting their gold standard treatment plan to try and compete with today\u2019s market pressures, thus reducing the margin on each aid you fit. With this in mind, Fuel Medical\u2019s Access Hearing Program was designed as an alternative treatment plan to give you the ability to offer your patients more options for affordable treatment of their hearing loss, while continuing to receive care from you. We\u2019re excited to help you keep your private pay patients right where they belong\u2014in YOUR practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The switch from \u2018ownership that you purchase\u2019 to \u2018access you subscribe to\u2019 overturns many conventions, and private practitioners can pivot more easily than large clinics to this type of approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Are You Allocating the Right Resources For Scheduling and Employment? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We provide you with the tools you need to schedule efficient appointments and retain quality staff, freeing up time to focus on patient care. This impacts the quality of your patient outcomes and has a positive ripple effect across every touchpoint in the patient journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Turning Outside Industry Threats Into Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Over-the-counter options, third-party contracts and \u2018hearables\u2019 from big-name audio manufacturers provide patients with more budget-conscious options than ever before. These devices can feel like competition but they\u2019re creating an incredible opportunity Fuel can help you take advantage of by: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Coalescing your brand and your mission around value-based care <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Educating your patients through creative marketing campaigns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Recalibrating your pricing and treatment strategies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Clinical Treatment with HaRT (Habituation and Retraining Therapy)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Tinnitus management skills and sound therapy are utilized for short-term relief and retraining and correction of hypermonitoring is utilized for long-term habituation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The three core components of HaRT are:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Expert tinnitus education and information<\/strong>
        Counseling and education sessions explain the facts about tinnitus and how care is provided to give relief and guide the patient through the process of achieving short-term and long-term benefit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Proper use of sound therapy<\/strong>
        Guidance on the correct usage of the device along with a detailed explanation of the basic milestones of progress with sound therapy give the patient confidence in the treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Regular interaction with a tinnitus expert audiologist<\/strong>
        The HaRT program offers regular interactions between patient and clinician as needed during treatment to facilitate the best possible outcome for each patient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The HaRT approach is unique. It draws from other well-established, evidence-based approaches while also incorporating the most convenient methods and technologies for the patient and the learnings of our own clinical experts, gathered from years of patient interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Improving Access to Cochlear Implants with Cochlear EDGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Cochlear implants are an established treatment modality for patients who need auditory enhancement beyond the capabilities of traditional hearing aids. Despite the excellent outcomes, cochlear implants remain highly under referred as a treatment option. It is estimated that 5% of all existing patients in audiology offices are cochlear eligible but not referred. We created our Cochlear EDGE program to address this issue. The materials and protocol of Cochlear EDGE help maximize patient outcomes and clinic potential by guiding suitable candidates to the appropriate treatment. Expand your scope of practice with Cochlear EDGE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
