Cataract Surgery is carried out successfully across the globe, but many providers and Ophthalmologists still make little money from this â??routineâ?? procedure, individually and for their respective businesses. High volume surgery following strict protocol pathways, with high performing clinician-led teams can however deliver benefits for everyone. Add this to moving cataract surgery into an ambulatory environment and taking out of Secondary Care (UK NHS Hospitals) and understanding every cost to the nth degree and a recipe for success prevails. This presentation will deliver a radical and non-apologetic approach to â??making moneyâ? whilst still delivering the utmost excellence of care. It doesnâ??t matter where you sit in the pathway, whether an Ophthalmologist, a Directorate Manager for an NHS Head and Neck Unit, a Private Hospital Manger, Private Medical Provider or a Supplier, when things are done right, surplus can be determined from Cataract Procedures and everyone wins. Benchmark targets derived from UK experience will be tabled plus a deep delve into some of the cost myths and perceptions. Actual costs will be detailed versus revenues awarded and you will be asked to you consider how much you should really earn from Cataract procedures and why itâ??s time for this to be more equitably shared. This presentation will change forever how you consider your approach to cataract surgery and will â??raise the bar for everyoneâ?¦.â?.
