Download or read book The Business of Building and Managing a Healthcare Practice written by Neil Baum and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the foundation of the previous edition, this book takes readers to the next level of management of medical practices for the 21st century. The road to becoming a physician is not an easy one to travel, nor does it become easier once a doctor completes his\her training. After a long and arduous training process, doctors embark on their professional journey, and there are major crossroads that are fraught with challenges, unknowns and risk. The transition to professional practice is daunting, and many physicians leave their training unprepared for the business of medicine. Even at the peak of their careers, sustaining a successful and profitable practice is not easy. Opening chapters revisit the basic business concepts that every physician needs to know, emphasizing the benefits that accrue to a physician who understands the basics of business, from accounting and contracts to managing people and personal finances. The next set of chapters offers a roadmap for doctors who are beginning a medical practice and will include new methods and procedures that have become available since the original edition, defining the various options for doctors’ employment such as solo practice, group practice and academic medicine. The final chapters emphasize strategies on how to build and grow a successful practice, including the use of technology and telemedicine, cybersecurity, marketing and much more. Unfortunately, not every doctor has the background, training and skills to manage a medical practice. The Business of Building and Managing a Healthcare Practice simplifies the process of business management and provides the practicing physician with knowledge to be able to enjoy the business component of his\her medical practice.
Download or read book The Business of Private Medical Practice written by James A. Schafer and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unevenly distributed resources and rising costs have become enduring problems in the American health care system. Health care is more expensive in the United States than in other wealthy nations, and access varies significantly across space and social classes. James A. Schafer Jr. shows that these problems are not inevitable features of modern medicine, but instead reflect the informal organization of health care in a free market system in which profit and demand, rather than social welfare and public health needs, direct the distribution and cost of crucial resources. The Business of Private Medical Practice is a case study of how market forces influenced the office locations and career paths of doctors in one early twentieth-century city, Philadelphia, the birthplace of American medicine. Without financial incentives to locate in poor neighborhoods, Philadelphia doctors instead clustered in central business districts and wealthy suburbs. In order to differentiate their services in a competitive marketplace, they also began to limit their practices to particular specialties, thereby further restricting access to primary care. Such trends worsened with ongoing urbanization. Illustrated with numerous maps of the Philadelphia neighborhoods he studies, Schafer’s work helps underscore the role of economic self-interest in shaping the geography of private medical practice and the growth of medical specialization in the United States.

Download or read book How to Effectively Market and Manage a Private Medical Practice written by Romeo Richards and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a difference between the profession of medicine and the business of medicine. The profession of medicine is the deliverables: treating patients or giving prescriptions. The business of medicine encompasses the deliverables as well as finance and marketing. Success in the profession of medicine will make you a good employee. But to succeed as the owner of a private medical practice requires a sound understanding of the business of medicine. This book teaches you how to succeed in the business of medicine. The core theme is how to attract and retain patients. Without patients, you do not have a business. But patient attraction is a skill most doctors lack, or take for granted. At the end of this book, you will no longer view patient attraction as a chore to avoid. More importantly you will learn how to retain the patients you attract to your practice. Furthermore, you will learn a critical skill most doctors lack - the ability to grow a practice. The large majority of private medical practices remain small for years because their owners do not know how to grow their practice. This book will show you how to effectively manage your practice; attract new patients and grow exponentially.
