O
phthalmic administrators
can use benchmarks to
make practices better,
more efficient, and more
profitable, according to
presenters in yesterday's "Who
Wants to be a Millionaire: Bench-
marking to Turn Your Data into
Dollars" ASOA session.
Benchmarking means compar-
ing a business's performance and
processes to industry standards and
best practices used by similar com-
panies. In this interactive session,
a panel of benchmarking experts
shared examples of how adminis-
trators can use benchmarks to make
better, more informed business
decisions for their practices.
"It's critical to make intelligent
business decisions; we can no longer
just go with our gut," said Deborah
Davis, COE, Buffalo, New York,
during the session. "We have to back
it up with data."
Turning practice data into dollars
Mr. Theine describes how administrators can use benchmarks to understand how their practice compares to industry standards.
