Conference Goals:

At the conclusion of the 2024 AAOE Annual Conference, registrants will learn the following, based on sessions they select in each core function area:

• Business Development - Understand and assess if different lines of business could work for one’s practice, including alternative therapies or increased accessibility.

• Compliance - Build and manage an effective compliance program.

• Culture - Assess different ways to manage office culture and how to implement changes at one’s own practice.

• Customer Service - Establish strong customer service protocols to improve patient satisfaction.

• Data Analytics - Use data to improve satisfaction and patient outcomes. Learn how to leverage one’s own data to benchmark against other practices.

• Finance - Assess how small non-financial changes, such as increasing efficiency, can have a positive impact on the bottom line.

• Human Resources - Analyze current human resources practices and determine which should be updated, removed, or added in order to improve morale, increase patient satisfaction, or otherwise make positive changes in the practice.

• IT - Perform tasks – both old and new – more efficiently with the right technology in place.

• Marketing & Communications - Discuss different tactics for marketing, communications, and social media; including the advantages and disadvantages of each and how they could impact one’s practice.

• Operations - Understand the ins and outs of managing bundled payments and the impacts this could have on one’s practice; as well as how to communicate the necessary position to one’s physicians or board of directors. Measure effectiveness of current billing and coding models and provide an action plan to improve.

• Value-Based Care - Identify and understand different payer models and assess which is best for your practice. Recognize and understand the difference between ACOs and bundles, and how value-based care can impact the entire practice, from patients to physicians.
