Description

Long-term patient engagement and follow-up can be some of the biggest challenges of our MBS programs. This expert panel shares evidence based opinions and practice applications on revisions, conversions, and medical management, along with the extras that keep the patients coming back.

Learning Objectives

  1. Define the ideal care plan – revision, conversion, and/or medical management – for your patient.
  2. State three ways to engage your patients in uncharted ways.
  3. Identify one new way to elevate your program, from partnering to PCPs and taking care of the team.
