Is staying in practice your best
option?
I'll help you do it successfully and
happily...
For many physicians, remaining in
practice is your very best option, the best use of your professional skills and
what you really want to do. Further, it goes without saying, career transition
can be a scary process in today's economy.
What are your options? You're frustrated, tired, worried about the economy, but
overly demanding, even litigious, patients, increasing bureaucracy, declining
reimbursements and less time for yourself and your loved ones are making
practice a "physician-unfriendly" zone.
Here is my two pronged approach to
practice change. First you need to get control of your practice - that's
Physician-Centering... see below. Simultaneously, you need to be looking at
business options. How can you change your practice to achieve target
profitability while making your practice more livable, more Physician-Centered?
Offshore may even be an options...
Effective Practice Processes
-
First, look at your business
processes - are they optimal? THEY MUST BE - ask me how.
-
Specialize/sub-specialize - think
in business terms, not clinical terms - it can be as simple as promoting a
particular procedure or service.
-
Change your hours - when is
patient demand the highest - lowest. Give yourself some time off.
-
Share the costs - others have the
same challenges. What can you share: people, equipment, office space. Think
collaboratively and collectively.
Some Don'ts
-
Don't bring in a partner...
-
Don't give up whatever autonomy
you have...
-
Don't resign yourself to the
status quo...
The Physician Centered Practice
-
It's about organizational
development and behaviors
-
It's about defining and perhaps
recreating your practice's corporate culture
-
It's about developing and
assigning responsibilities
-
It's about understanding what you
want from your practice and how to get it
-
It's about being happy again...
Read this article, the Physician-Centered Practice, and then call or email. I'd
like to speak with you about making your practice a happier place for you to be.
