How Production Tracking Software Can Help Your Eye Care Practice

Imagine the growth chart on your wall, marking your children's heights over the years — a clear, undeniable record of their progress. The same principle applies to your eye care practice — consistently tracking and evaluating the progress made towards your goals is essential — and it starts with the simple act of measuring.

Every day, your optical staff diligently enters data into your practice management software, yet, extracting and utilizing this data without a tracking tool can be a daunting, time-consuming and often unreliable task. Are you capturing all the necessary data? Can you consistently compare this month’s data with last month’s or last year’s?

You can overcome these challenges with ease by utilizing production tracking software programs — available with exclusive savings to PECAA Max members. These tools provide invaluable data for practice owners who want to enhance patient care, profitability and productivity by providing:

• In-depth analytics that help you recognize growth opportunities and future trends
• Monthly reports to help you identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats 
• The ability to track and compare staff performance
• Manage your frame boards
• Data needed to design a team challenge to increase your practice revenue
• Benchmarks against your peers of similar size at a regional and national level
• Side by side vision plan comparison
• Your practice metrics, updated on a daily basis

The most successful eye care practices use analytics to simplify their decision-making processes. Instead of spending hours retrieving and interpreting business performance data, which impacts your productivity, why not delegate your data management to the production tracking experts? For just a few dollars a day, you can enhance your business decisions in minutes, allowing you to focus on what truly matters — excellent patient care.

Production tracking software is integrable with most practice management (PM) software systems; be sure to confirm compatibility with your PM system before committing to a tool.
