Time spent with clients is the time that matters most to a hearing care practice. How can you optimize this time?

By carefully tracking the availability of the hearing care providers in your office.

• With Mirage, each appointment may be assigned to one or more provider. Mirage also keeps track of other activities ? meetings, training classes, out-of-office events ? that occupy these providers. Mirage can even set aside a specific time of day for each provider to conduct certain types of patient visits.

By quickly finding the appointment time that best matches your client's needs.

• Mirage searches your office schedule for the earliest available appointment time based on the client's preference for times, dates, and provider.

By sharing schedule information between offices.

• In a multi-office practice, Mirage allows one office to view the appointment schedule for other offices and to make appointments at other offices. New information about appointments can be transferred immediately to all offices.

By tracking important information related to each appointment.

• Each appointment in the Mirage calendar may include information about the referral source, the type of visit (hearing test, initial fitting, followup, and so on), reminders, and more.

By ensuring that the office is fully prepared for every client visit.

• Mirage allows users to plan a list of specific activities and to reserve office resources such as rooms or diagnostic equipment for each visit.
