We Can Be Better

We discussed her practice, changes made, impacts on staff and patients in 2020!!! She’s had to deal with Covid, Protests, and Fires! She coordinates the Portland Health Forum of MGMA members - great networking model. Awesome discussion

Nancy knows coding better than most! She talks about the E & M changes coming 1/1/2021, improved wRVU weighing! But the reduction in conversion factor impacts the practice - positive or negative is an issue to be reviewed. We also discussed the audit process, feds and internal approaches. Next session will be with Deb Bartel, Practice Manager from Portland, discussing Covid, riots, and fires. Should be interesting!

We discussed descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics! Sounds complicated but Frank shared some real world examples about each. In addition, we talked about coding audits and the federal government approach in the rest of the year.

Great interview about M & A during and projected post Covid. Discussed governance, staffing, and innovation related to the impact of Covid on the physician practice - both independent and hospital based.

We discuss culture, leadership/management, recruiting and an overall look at practice management today.

We talk about the goals, plans and introduce the idea of all working together to improve patient care. This will be followed by several interviews with leaders, managers, clinicians, and others involved in the management of a medical practice
