Program Description
The recorded program will be available for viewing on demand until Dec. 31, 2022.
This 2-hour program is intended for physicians who perform hair transplantation surgery utilizing either strip or FUE graft harvest methods. This webinar is being conducted to provide physicians knowledge on consultation, evaluation, and what/how to document, and photograph. As a result of this activity, learners will be able to discuss techniques for proper consultation and how to evaluate a patient along with ways to document that exchange in consultation notes as written and as an electronic medical record. Photographic documentation for the hair-restoration patient will also be discussed. Technology will be covered that serve to aid in the consultation process along with practical business tips to help the novice to experienced hair surgeon. The online live component will include presentations, panel discussion, and audience participation via verbal questions and discussion, typing chat Q&A and polling.
Professional Practice Gap
Although quality hair-restoration surgery is the key goal in any patient encounter, practical tips on how to perform an effective consultation to improve patient communication and thereby satisfaction, secure medico-legal documentation, and to improve success for a clinic should not be overlooked. Physicians, unfortunately, have not been trained to be good business individuals, communicators, or technologists. This webinar will hopefully help to fill that professional gap and accordingly improve practice performance for physicians, as outlined above, enabling them to provide better service to patients.

Educational Need
The gap, as explained above, may be due to lack of education since a physician is trained formally how to practice medicine. However, that physician is never trained on business development, communication skills, and medical documentation during medical school or residency training. Physicians may also be overwhelmed already with years of training in school and also consumed by their daily practice so that they have very little time to commit to further training in these important matters. They may also believe that they are already performing at a high level since many physicians are over achievers. Accordingly, it may simply be a lack of knowledge of what they think they know but actually do not. Finally, many physicians may not be technologically minded and do not understand the fundamentals of how technology leveraged well in a practice can enhance communication, efficiency, documentation, sales, and legal protection for a clinical practice. Increasing the overall success of a medical practice is key to providing better service to patients.
