Instructor Resources: Instructor Manual and test bank.
Consolidations and mergers have dramatically changed the face of the
medical practice. From governance issues to information technology,
today's practice managers face a host of new complexities and competing
priorities that demand more robust skills and knowledge than ever
before.
*
Fundamentals of Medical Practice Management* uniquely addresses the
educational needs of the modern practice manager. The author, who
studied under quality guru W. Edwards Deming, combines a focus on
quality and excellence with an important thesis: that working together
and putting people first is the best path to success in healthcare.
The author argues that win-lose games and quick-fix solutions have begun
to deliver diminished returns in healthcare--not only economically but
emotionally and societally. Although the book delves into many practical
topics, its aim is to shape the reader's mind-set for a new era of
people-focused practice management.
Fundamentals of Medical Practice Management covers these areas and
more:
- Information technology and management
- Regulatory issues, law, and practice management
- Strategic planning, project management, and marketing
- Third-party payers and revenue cycle
- Human resources management
- Quality and emergency management
This book will appeal to a wide range of learners, including those in
organizational programs, undergraduate and master of health
administration programs, and practice management certificate programs.
Its insights will not only prepare those new to the field but also help
current practice managers to retool and refocus.
