103 V Training & Recognition Programs
The EyePACS Handbook: Tools for Program Success
Recognition for Clinic Staff
Clinic administrators can promote the EyePACS program and demonstrate a
commitment to it by offering simple incentives and recognizing clinic staff members
when they reach significant program milestones. Providing incentives for staff
members can also motivate them to integrate diabetic retinopathy screening more fully
into the workflow of the clinic.
• Initial Milestone – the 100
th
Screening. This milestone can be recognized for
individual photographers when they’ve performed 100 screenings or for a clinic
as a whole once they’ve hit the 100-screen mark. Clinic administrators can give
photographers a $10 Starbucks gift card or buy pizza for the clinic for lunch to
recognize the hard work of staff participating in the program.
• Friendly Competitions. Clinics can provide incentives to physicians to order
more screenings by inciting a little healthy competition between providers. For
example, whoever recommended the most screenings in a given month gets a
prize. Or, encourage photographers to perform more screenings by recognizing
the one who did the most.
• Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Ambassadors. Once a photographer has
screened 100 patients, they may have the opportunity to serve as program
ambassadors for EyePACS. If chosen, EyePACS ambassadors can go to other
clinics to do screening events or to perform screenings at diabetes education
classes or be the presenter on the online monthly calls. They’ll also receive a
certificate of recognition for their achievement.
