Ida Launches New Tool Fit for the Future

By Amanda Farah Cox

The Ida Institute is pleased to announce the launch of our latest tool, Fit for the Future. The new tool will help hearing care professionals make themselves future-proof, as persons with hearing loss increasingly expect more flexible and personalized care.

Fit for the Future is a product of our Vision 2020 process, which looks at the evolving state of audiology and how practitioners can anticipate and adapt to these changes to the benefit of their services and clients. It features My Future Plan, a checklist of ways to make your practice more person-centered and modern.

The suggestions in My Future Plan link back to the different areas explored in Vision 2020: Workplace, Telehealth, and Relating in New Ways. There, users can read more detailed information about these concepts and areas, which were developed in collaboration with the 100 hearing care professionals who participated in the Vision 2020 process.

Each suggestion links back to a different subsection of Vision 2020 to offer further inspiration. You can watch videos, read about future trends, and get information on how to implement your new ideas. The print out of your Future Plan will highlight the items you want to take action on now and the notes you have taken about how to implement them, but will keep other suggestions in view to inspire future projects.
