11 Straightforward And Practical Tips To Improve Your Practice ’s Bottom Line
You do not have to be a marine captain to know that there are countless potential dangers navigating waters. With a little imagination you know there are many risks. Some hidden, like currents, while others are painfully apparent (i.e. howling winds, waves and torrential storms).   We know there isn’t anything the captain can do to eliminate weather conditions or enforce her will on ocean currents. However, we can all agree the captain has control over the vessel. We can also agree that the captain has the responsibility to equip the ship and its crew member to its maximum potential if they have any intention of o...

Is It Worth Being A Member Of The American Academy Of Pediatrics?
I asked a newly graduated pediatrician if she was going to renew her membership with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Her response did not surprise me. She said, “…probably not. I see no point in being a member.” As far as she was concerned, there wasn’t an upside ( or value ) to belong to […] (Source: Pediatric Inc)

I see no point in being a member.” As far as she was concerned, there wasn’t an upside ( or value ) to belong to the Academy. I knew what she meant because I share her feelings. Recently I came across an email that challenged my stance regarding the value the American Academy Of Pediatrics provides to pediatricians. I wanted to share the email just as I read it. Below are the unedited comments from Dr. Suzanne Berman and...

The Value of Having Core Values
The airline passenger was upset with the flight crew. So she wrote a letter to the CEO to inform him she did not approve of how the crew was making jokes while doing the pre-flight safety checks. In her letter to the CEO, she made clear that security announcements ought to be taken serious because of how important they were.   As it turns out, the passenger that wrote the letter was a frequent flyer of the airline. Surely a customer the airline wants to keep. Right? So how did the CEO respond? “We’ll miss you” and added, “Rest assured that this company, like all good airlines, take safety very, ver...

21 Questions To Put You and Your Medical Practice Back On Track
Things have changed since the beginning. You are now so wrapped up in the day to day that you’ve lost your North, your purpose, your original destination. It used not to be this way, but it seems like the practice has lost its focus. Losing focus was not intentional. You started out with a clear vision, worked out the details and began. You remained disciplined and consistent. You were not distracted easily, you kept an eye on the ball and made sure things were addressed effectively and efficiently. However, along came bumps on the road, mishaps, unforeseen circumstances, misunderstandings, performance issues, compet...

How Well Do Parents Know What You Do As a Pediatrician?
During the summer months, I posted on our practice’s Facebook page, a note encouraging parents, to schedule their children’s wellness visits. Although the message was for our entire Facebook community, I wanted to catch the eye of parents with teenagers. Don’t know how well you manage teens in your office, but in our office, we have decent wellness visit numbers with younger patients. The teen population? Not so much. Once the teen years kick in, we mostly see them when they are sick. I wanted to encourage parents to make their wellness visits but also throw in a subtle nudge to parents with teens.To get thei...
