DESCRIPTION:Are you a Practice Manager in Gippsland? Gippsland PHN would like to invite all Gippsland based Practice Managers to How to manage busy Reception like a pro! Presenter: Wendy O'Meara, Primary Health Consultant A practice manager “manages reception like a pro” by creating clear systems, setting high service standards, and leading with consistency. This includes ensuring efficient workflows, confident handling of patient interactions and billing issues, maintaining accurate data, and providing regular coaching and feedback—resulting in a smooth, professional, and patient-focused front desk. Learning Outcomes: Demonstrate effective front desk communication by answering phone calls promptly, applying professional phone etiquette, and delivering high-quality customer service in all patient interactions. Accurately manage administrative processes by updating patient demographics, identifying and resolving Medicare rejections, and maintaining efficient and compliant reception workflows. Apply professional and organisational standards by maintaining patient privacy and confidentiality, and actively participating in performance appraisals to support continuous improvement and accountability.
