About the seminar
Hearing care is facing increasing demand while access to qualified staff remains limited. One way to address this challenge is to organise clinical work so that several patients can be managed in parallel and parts of the hearing assessment can be performed automatically.
The seminar presents the CAR approach (Collaborative Audiologic Reception) and CAR WFS, a new workflow system developed for audiology clinics. The system supports real-time coordination of patients, staff, rooms and clinical tasks, while providing staff with a shared visual overview of patient flow on handheld devices.
The seminar will present experiences from the development and clinical use of the system and discuss how this approach could contribute to more efficient use of resources, shorter waiting times and new ways of organising hearing care.
Who is the seminar for?
- Hearing care professionals and decision-makers.
- Researchers and teaching staff in audiology and hearing science.
- Companies and other organisations interested in audiological technology and the future organisation of hearing care.
- Municipalities and regions in Sweden
- Trade unions within the sector
- Employer organizations within healthcare
