The Foundational Principle in Practice Management is Effectiveness
Successful Practice Management can enhance physician practice efficiency, staff satisfaction and the delivery of patient care
01 | What is Practice Management?
Practice Management covers the financial and administrative management of a physician practice or medical office.
Whether in a small office or a large one, practice management involves a variety of areas, including:
- Financial Management
- Business Operations
- Human Resources
- Information Management
- Organizational Governance
- Continuing Education
02 | Financial Management
Financial Management includes establishing and maintaining a budget and revenue cycle as well as monitoring and analyzing medical billing success and financial performance. It also involves negotiating contracts with payers.
03 | Business Operations & Human Resources
Developing a business and marketing plan are critical to the success of a medical practice. Human resources also falls under practice management and includes recruiting, hiring, training and retaining medical professionals and staff.
04 | Information Management & Organizational Governance
A medical practice cannot be successful with efficient telephone and computer systems, with software/services for clinical, billing, electronic health record and financial management. The practice management team would also work to establish the legal structure of the practice, integrating a corporate mission, establish a pay structure and foster staff and clinical leaders.
05 | Continuing Education
Industry needs are constantly changing, which means physician and employee education should likewise be continual. Creating opportunities for continuing education courses and tracking attendance supports professional development and improves employee morale.
