Mastering the art of medical practice management requires knowledge that most physicians don't learn in medical school, residency, and fellowship training. Successful practice management in the 21st century rrequires physicians to understand how to organize and manage a practice, manage their finances, recruit, work with, and manage people within and outside of the practice, improve healthcare delivery and clinical outcomes, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Medical Practice Management in the 21st Century; the handbook addresses multiple aspects of medical practice management. It offers both background information and practical tools. The workbook format, supported by web-based tools, allows busy physicians to gian a basic understanding of many topics, determine strategies for their practices, and seek additional information when they want it. This guide will be ideal for both physicians who need business guidance as they begin their careers and physicians who are already in practice and want to enhance thier business skills. Many physicians can't afford or choose not to hire a professional practice administrator or manager; this book will help them assume managerial responisbilities with the same level of confidence that they bring to clinical care.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Medical Practice Management in the 21st Century is written for the busy practitioner - clear, concise, and practical without any wasted space. I wish I had had this resource when I was starting practice. It's the bible for practice management, just as the Washington Manual was in earlier years." Robert S. Galvin, MD, Director of Global Healthcare for General Electric (GE)

"This important book crosses many boundaries, covering a wide variety of topics. It guides physicians in developing the infrastructure that they need to succeed both today and in the future." John Fallon, MD, Chief Physician Executive, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts

"I love the chapter on financial management. It is very complete and gives a non-business major a good grasp of some complicated information." Allen R. Wenner, MD, family medicine practitioner, West Columbia Family Medicine, South Carolina

"I like the format of the exhibits. In the chapter on financial management, the side-by-side problem/solution approach is easily understandable and lends itself to a solution oriented approach. I can spot my own practice's issues and immediately understand what to do without searching through a lot of text." Tom Sena, MD, President of Raleigh Children and Adolescents Medicine, Raleigh, North Carolina

This review is from: Medical Practice Management in the 21st Century: the Handbook (Paperback)

A lot of pertinent material for these times in medicine written in a concise and highly readable format. I have been in a urology practice over 30 years and I am purchasing the book for my 4 associates so we are all up to speed and on the same page as we plan for future growth and adjustment in this rapidly changing health care environment.
