As practice management consultants, we visit pediatric practice after pediatric practice suffering from top-down disorganization.  Pick your direction oriented analogy: running in circles, working against each other, or, as Brandon put it best, hopping in the car and driving with no idea of where you're going or how to get there.
In this weeks episode, we discuss the important of having a Practice Charter, how to create one, and what to do with it. 
Our special guest is Susanne Madden (of The Verden Group), who knows more about this than both of us combined.  And is more charming as well.

Hello listeners!
We've put this podcast on permanent hiatus, but Chip has begun a new podcast, which you can find on his blog, www.chipsblog.com, or on iTunes (search for Confessions of a Pediatric Practice Management Consultant). We hope you follow us over there!

Final Episode . . . and a New Podcast!

Brandon and I have been busy, OK? :-) 
I pulled in Dr. Nelson Branco to discuss what pediatricians need to know about social media.  How do you set up a Fb page?  What is snapchat and instagram and why do you need to know?  What four or five Internet concepts does a pediatrician need to know?
Dr. Branco's practice is located in the greater Bay Area in CA, effectively forcing him to be on the forefront of social media and Internet awareness for pediatricians.  Listen to him, learn a lot!
We'll be back with an episode with Brandon after the PCC Users' Conference.

Missing Episode 27 (071014) - The Pediatrician and Social Media (feat. Nelson Branco)

First, we are going to ignore the episode numbering for a little while.  Brandon and I recorded a series of episodes in advance and am not releasing them in the order they were recorded.  Forgive us.
A while back, Brandon wrote a piece on Pediatric Inc entitled "7 Reasons Why Becoming a Partner at a Medical Practice is Overrated" and got a lot of feedback from it.  We decided to expand on that topic for today's discussion.

Episode 28 (060314) - Is Partnership Overrated?

A few weeks ago, there was a great discussion on SOAPM about the marketing challenge that pediatricians face when confronted by Retail Based Clinics.  Brandon and I feel strongly about the power of even the smallest pediatric practice to tell a better story than the RBCs and their friends.  We review some of Brandon's practice data about his most popular visit reasons - you can see the spreadsheet he shared with everyone here.

Episode 26: RBCs and Pediatric Marketing Challenges (042514)

Brandon has spoken many times about his collection of patient credit card information to work personal balances and he continues to get questions about it.  If you haven't read his blog, listen in today for details.

Oh, and we reference Manage My Practice quite a bit in this episode.
