✔ Seven appointment workflows
✔ Six metrics for measuring whether they work

## Every Clinician, Every Location,
***The Same Standard Of Care***
Three chapters: what consistent workflows look like per appointment type, what makes them hold up once clinicians are busy, and how to build and measure them in Manage™.
Chapter 1
## Workflows by Appointment Type
The shared frame behind every appointment, and what changes in the middle.
- Hearing test and hearing aid fitting
- Follow-up, recall, and aftercare
- Wax removal and hearing protection
Chapter 2
## Four Steps to Better Workflows
Four points in the appointment where a correctly built workflow still breaks down.
- Capturing what the audiogram doesn't show
- Recording the reasoning, not just the decision
- Verification that happens on busy days too
- Follow-up that doesn't depend on the patient calling
Chapter 3
## Building Workflows in Manage™
How guided workflows work in practice, and how to adapt them.
- Editing steps without developer help
- Clinical data alongside each step
- Six metrics for measuring performance
