The Depth Perception Podcast

In this conversation, the hosts discuss 'Generations'. The hosts identify their generational identities and they explore the differences between generations, particularly millennials and Gen Z, in terms of communication styles, learning methods, and work values. The hosts discuss how younger generations have grown up with technology and readily available information, which has shaped their approach to learning and problem-solving. They also touch on the importance of mental health and work-life balance for millennials and Gen Z. The conversation highlights the clash between traditional and progressive mindsets in the workplace and the need for open-mindedness and empathy when working with different generations.

In this conversation, Colton Calandrella, CEO of Barti Software, discusses the importance of finding the right Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for optometry practices. The conversation revolves around the analogy of dating, with the EHR being compared to a long-term partner. The main themes include the criteria for swiping right on an EHR, such as user-friendliness, cloud-based accessibility, and comprehensive features. The conversation also touches on the challenges of navigating different EHR systems and the importance of minimizing clicks for a more efficient workflow. In this conversation, Colton Calandrella discusses the importance of finding an EHR system that clicks with your practice. He emphasizes the need to prioritize the number of clicks required to perform tasks, as well as the ability to customize the system to meet your specific needs. Colton also highlights the value of AI transcription in reducing clicks and automating note-taking. He advises practitioners to have a list of non-negotiables when evaluating EHR systems and to test drive the software before making a commitment. Additionally, he discusses the importance of staff buy-in and integration with other technologies.

From attending Western University to starting his own private practice in Beverly Hills, it took time and effort for Dr. Silani to find his calling in eyecare. 

Dr. Silani suffered from dry eyes and started seeing the need for care with his own patients so he decided to make it his focus for his career. He started making waves by letting other patients, providers and companies know about his focus. 

Dr. Silani strives to create a luxurious experience with his patients by spending more time with them, getting to know them on a level where he can even discuss his personal life and following up with them at least on a quarterly basis. He even created an Instagram wall for patients to take photos on their visits to enhance their experience. 

Overall Dr. Silani’s goal is to leave the world in a better place than when he started and he is absolutely doing this through his work in the dry eye space. 

To learn more about Dr. Silani, on dry eyes or about how to find your niche in eyecare then you will absolutely want to listen to this podcast.
