It clearly and directly communicates to the staff at all levels about their own performance and areas for improvement. Thus, it is time for eye care managers to adopt a paradigm shift towards embracing the use of evidence in management practices. Over the years, having worked with over 260 hospitals, LAICO has witnessed institutions that have adopted these principles of evidence-based management practice and the positive results of this approach. It is in this context, that LAICO invites you to Madurai for a two-day workshop to share those principles behind this paradigm of management. This workshop aims to
