Taking Down Dr. Oz
I briefly mentioned Dr. Oz in my recent post about NY Med (and the healthcare social media firing). It’s clear to anyone watching the show that Dr. Oz is there for the celebrity factor and not for the actual medical work. He’s always “partnered” with another cardiologist who provides the actual patient care. Of course, I don’t really care too much that he’s on it or not. If it gives them a boost in ratings, good. I like the show.
However, I don’t know a single doctor that likes Dr. Oz and I know many of them who hate Dr. Oz. With this in mind, I found this interview with a medical ...

Seven Ways Outsourcing Medical Billing Boosts Your Bottom Line
In a high-compliance environment, outsourcing medical billing functions seems like a loss of control for some medical practices. In reality, outsourcing claims billing with the right provider enhances physician control over billing processes. Outsourcing has also been shown to increase profits, productivity, and patient satisfaction.
Lower Staffing Costs
An obvious reason to outsource medical billing work is to reduce overhead costs for your small medical practice. Managing claims processes is a full-time job requiring at least one staff member, which means practices pay salaries for one or more people along with benefits ...

Cardiology EHR Selection Checklist for Small Practices
Software developers have been working hard the past couple of years to be ready for the heightened interest in EMR/EHR systems. The initial focus was on "generic" systems that could work in various practices. Basic functionality isn't always enough to impress medical offices – especially medical specialists such as cardiologists. The Certification Commission for Health Information Technology, a nonprofit group that vets EHR systems for compliance with performance standards, has also noted that a one-size-fits-all approach to electronic health records does medical practices a disservice.
Knowing what features you need and...

Using EHR Implementation to Solve Patient Scheduling Issues
EMR & Medical Billing Best Practices Series: #3
Last week's blog in the Best Practices Series covered the need for organization in your medical practice. This week, we'll look at how a strong EHR implementation removes common issues from one of the most difficult organizational aspects of a medical office: Patient scheduling.
Make Use of Patient Portals
A best practice for patient scheduling in any medical office is that your office staff doesn't have to do all the work. It seems counter-intuitive to think patients would be happy to take on some of the burden, but if it means more efficient appointments, most are will...
