Physicians, administrators, and the remaining knowledge workers in the practice need to prepare for future changes: PQRI, Medicare fee decreases, increasing costs, and changing patient dynamic.

Listen and Learn:

• Assist in review of the first half of 2007 — the good, the bad, and the ugly
• Prepare for the next six to 12 months
• What can be done TODAY to make 2007 the best year ever
• Apply theories and principles of management to daily activity in your practice regardless of size or specialty

Our suggestion is that prior to this practical conference, review your practice’s last year plan, its last financial statement, a few EOB’s, staffing patterns — evaluations and wage changes, patient satisfaction survey results, the compliance plan, policy and procedure manual, and the like. And if you don’t have all of these pieces, it is OK! Review what you have and come prepared with questions you can ask in real-time to Owen Dahl.
