AUSTIN, Texas—Next week industry Internet portal VisionWeb launches a free Webinar series, “The Automated Practice,” designed to educate eyecare providers on technology and services available to help them automate daily processes and increase efficiency in their businesses.

Representatives from VisionWeb-connected suppliers, practice-management systems, industry partners and affiliates, and eyecare practitioners will join VisionWeb as Webinar panelists, sharing ways they have incorporated VisionWeb services and offering insights on a variety of subject matter to help participants create or refine their own strategies for managing day-to-day business procedures.

The Webinar series kicks off on May 15 with “The Easiest Way to Improve Order Accuracy,” featuring panelist Melissa Walters of Ultra Lens Optical. The following week, VisionWeb hosts “Convenience and Efficiency: Benefits of Ordering through the Compulink and VisionWeb Integration,” featuring Luanna Jackson, VisionWeb’s integration coordinator.

Future Webinars will feature topics relevant to ordering eyecare products, practice-management integrations, and processing insurance transactions with VisionWeb. Practice-management vendors featured in the series include Crystal PM, Abeo Solutions; OfficeMate, OfficeMate Software Solutions; MaximEyes, First Insight; My Vision Express, Insight Software; and OD Professional, EMRlogic Systems.

“Each of the Webinars in this series addresses separate, critical issues that challenge efficiency in the eyecare practice,“ said Ken Englehart, VisionWeb’s chief operating officer. “We are dedicated to helping reduce these inefficiencies, and this effort gives us an exciting new platform to reach out to the eyecare provider.”

Noted Ultra Lens Optical’s Walters, “Participating in this Webinar series allows us to explain the benefits of using VisionWeb from the lab’s perspective, so the eyecare providers will have a more comprehensive understanding of how online ordering helps a lab meet their ordering expectations.”

The Webinars are available at various times during the day, several days a month. To view a monthly calendar, go to www.visionweb.com and select VisionWeb Training.
