Download or read book The Family Office written by William I. Woodson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family offices are private organizations that assume the daily administration and management of a wealthy family’s personal and financial affairs. Historically, these repositories of great wealth were shrouded in secrecy, their activities conducted behind closed doors. Recently, family offices have acquired a considerably higher public profile: they represent a mere 7 percent of the world’s ultra-high-net-worth population—yet control a staggering 50 percent of the wealth. As only a select few families now hold a disproportionate amount of global wealth, there are significant social implications to how such assets are managed and used. This book provides an insider’s view for anyone looking to understand family offices and how to best serve and advise them. The veteran practitioners William I. Woodson and Edward V. Marshall offer a thorough guide to family offices: why wealthy families create them, what they do, and how to manage them effectively. They present these insights through a series of problem-based learning cases that follow a single family’s journey from the time of a significant liquidity event; through the creation, staffing, and management of their family office; and on to its succession. Each case study is supported by detailed background reference material. The cases and background materials are drawn from the authors’ practical knowledge, network of industry experts, and experience advising family offices large and small. They shed light on the unique issues that ultrawealthy families face and the solutions they adopt to address them throughout the life cycle of a family office. This book is the definitive resource for practitioners and students, as well as family principals, advisers, service providers, and all others who engage with the world of family offices.

Download or read book Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes written by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality/AHRQ and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is intended to support the design, implementation, analysis, interpretation, and quality evaluation of registries created to increase understanding of patient outcomes. For the purposes of this guide, a patient registry is an organized system that uses observational study methods to collect uniform data (clinical and other) to evaluate specified outcomes for a population defined by a particular disease, condition, or exposure, and that serves one or more predetermined scientific, clinical, or policy purposes. A registry database is a file (or files) derived from the registry. Although registries can serve many purposes, this guide focuses on registries created for one or more of the following purposes: to describe the natural history of disease, to determine clinical effectiveness or cost-effectiveness of health care products and services, to measure or monitor safety and harm, and/or to measure quality of care. Registries are classified according to how their populations are defined. For example, product registries include patients who have been exposed to biopharmaceutical products or medical devices. Health services registries consist of patients who have had a common procedure, clinical encounter, or hospitalization. Disease or condition registries are defined by patients having the same diagnosis, such as cystic fibrosis or heart failure. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews.

Download or read book Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations written by James W. Karling and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2000-03-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only recently, the physician setting up his own practice was considered an anachronism. And doctors loosely affiliated with an independent practice association (IPA) fared no better. Lacking capital, financial management, and the mechanisms for adequate medical and information system management, many IPAs around the country were coping with financial instability. From the outset, IPAs seemed doomed to obsolescence by the organizational efficiencies and superior resources of third-party payors. Yet, in the early 1990s, IPAs underwent a remarkable turnaround?building infrastructure, investing in MIS systems, and accepting risk?transforming themselves into genuine competitors in healthcare quality and efficiency with HMOs. In fact, IPAs have become an increasingly common healthcare delivery model, offering distinct advantages over other payors to physicians interested in the administrative gains and security of a group practice, while still retaining their autonomy. Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations is the first comprehensive guide to setting up an IPA, detailing the many operational, legal, and logistical complexities of managing a physician-owned organization. Since controlling the financial and tax aspects of an IPA is critical to its survival, the Manual addresses an entire range of financial accounting concerns, including accounting concepts and methods for an IPA, internal control procedures, insurance issues, tax issues, policy guidance, and profit-making issues. Specific topics addressed include: How to manage and report primary, specialty, and inpatient care How to credential IPA providers How to negotiate contracts for single specialty and multispecialty IPAs Antitrust laws and IPAs?with a case study of a Florida IPA Why IPAs fail The book also clearly outlines how to acquire and negotiate a managed care contract and, with the help of its disk, provides a host of checklists, forms, and five sample contracts (not included in the book) that allow the user to chart his or her progress and get quickly up to speed on the essential paperwork. The Manual also provides hands-on advice on setting up an efficient computer system for an IPA, reflecting the acknowledged role of a first-rate information system in an IPA?s success. Offering candid, real-world guidance on setting up and successfully administering an IPA, Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations is the complete reference to making an IPA work?for both doctor and patient.

He coauthored the IPA Association of America?s Financial Accounting Manual for IPAs. The IPA finally comes of age?in the first comprehensive guide to successfully managing one In only a few short years, independent practice associations (IPAs) have been able to transform themselves?shedding their image as a healthcare delivery system ranking a distant second to HMOs. Revitalized with a new infrastructure, improved medical management and information systems, and forms of risk assumption, the IPA is suddenly marketable. Expanded geographic coverage, lower overhead, and a wide range of specialties are only part of the reason. Its other advantages?practical and administrative?are detailed in the first comprehensive guide to setting one up and making it work: Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations. Focusing largely on survival issues, the Manual addresses a host of key financial accounting concerns, including accounting concepts and methods for an IPA, internal control procedures, insurance issues, tax issues, policy guidance, and profit-making issues, including such specifics as: Management tools and reporting for primary, specialty, and inpatient care Credentialing IPA providers Risk pool accounting and auditing Also clearly outlined are tips on how to acquire and negotiate a managed care contract (for both single specialty and multispecialty IPAs) as well as hands-on advice on setting up an efficient, first-rate claims payment system. And the book?s disk provides a complete package of checklists, forms, and five sample contracts (not included in the book) essential to managing an IPA. The book also includes a summary "Physician and IPA Toolkit" appendix, offers cautionary advice on why IPAs fail, and describes the current status of antitrust laws and IPAs. Healthcare Financial Operations Manual for Independent Practice Associations is a complete primer to setting up what is now one of the most efficient and cost-effective healthcare delivery systems available, one that meets the bottom-line needs of both doctor and patient.
