Secrets of the Best-Run Practices
Healthcare practices. Uncertain times. Practices are under pressure to accomplish more with fewer resources, while facing new regulatory demands and other changes that compete with the responsibilities of running a practice.
How do the most successful medical practices excel in this constantly changing practice environment?
The wait is over. The much-anticipated 3rd edition of Secrets of the Best-Run Practices shares practical solutions for medical practices seeking to simplify business processes, maximize efficiency, and improve profitability all while putting patients first.

A practice that doubled time-of-service collections within 30-days once staff members once staff learned new collection techniques.
A simple formula for determining the hassle factor in dealing with 3rd party payers.
An amazingly productive physician generated $600,000 more in revenue than the national benchmark for his specialty.
