 Patient Coordinator Skills to Support a Platinum Practice 

Enhance your skills at this special workshop hosted by industry expert Karen Zupko.
Patient Care Coordinators are active members of the care team and play a vital role within their practice. Because they work one-on-one with patients, it’s imperative that their customer service and communication skills are second to none. Whether you are a new patient care coordinator (PCC), a seasoned aesthetic surgeon, or a patient services team manager with ten years of experience, refreshers and new ideas for handling objections are always in style!

It's highly recommended for experienced patient care counselors who may fall into “this is the way we’ve always done it” syndrome. New patient care coordinators will find that they leave with confidence and enthusiasm. You will receive a workbook to follow along during the presentation and to take home afterwards.

DESIRED OUTCOMES:
•Objectively assess the effectiveness of your consultation flow and see how it might be improved.
•Enhance your skills in guiding “prospects” to becoming scheduled patients.
•Discuss how to implement a consultation fee successfully.
•Recognize why measuring Patient Acceptance Rates (PAR) by procedure is so important.
•Identify how to reduce “no shows” and enhancing scheduling effectiveness.
•Acquire the ability to handle fee objections capably and confidently.
