S, if you make your physician audience happy, then I am happy.
In terms of the logos of numbers early on, you might note that your practice wants excellence in diagnosis, which a guide can help create conditions for -- the target is 100 percent patient health.
You might also note that efficient and speed, is important to in a busy practice, to meet patient needs and practice in economically sustainable way. Include that.

This brief training manual for ophthalmic technicians offers as a quick reference guide technicians from the start of their training period through their transition period into becoming an independent technician. Even after a thorough training period, it can be difficult as a starting technician to remember every detail of hands on training. The creation of this short guide offers the basics for a comprehensive eye exam. The author provides in depth background on retinal pathology often seen in ophthalmic patients. A basic understanding of these pathologies is essential for a beginning technician. Diabetic retinopathy is a pervasive retinal disease that can lead to several optic complications. The author goes in depth on this particular disease as it is widely prolific. The author provides basic instruction for two imaging techniques, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography, that are most commonly used is the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. Fluorescein angiography is a keystone technique that images the vasculature and rates of perfusion in the back of the eye. Optical coherence tomography uses light rays to provide a map of the different layers of the retina. A step by step guide on how to perform these techniques will serve as a useful reference for beginning technicians as they learn these techniques hands on.

READER: A HR employee or head technician responsible for training, most likely comfortable with their current training protocol and believing it is sufficient.
READER PROFILE: A written guide to a hands on task may not prove to be useful to several individuals. What is done in person should be learned in person. If additional help is required, guidance from an experienced technician should be sought out instead of referencing a bare minimum manual.
