Description: With the onset of managed care, the roles and responsibilities in a medical practice have taken on very different characteristics, throwing a loop into a well-run practice. Medical Practice Change Management shows you how to adapt to these changes and thrive with a successfully run practice. In a light-hearted, yet direct tone, Lucash gives practical guidance for managing your organization through the turmoil.

You'll learn how to approach a managed care contract and the commonalities of contracts, the keys to successfully managing the finances of your business, the various methods of reimbursement and how they effect your practice, to define the operational changes needed in order to comply with contract requirements, how to best market your practice, and the culture changes your practice may face and how to deal with them.

Medical Practice Change Management answers your questions and addresses your concerns with practical advice, work tools and even a business plan workbook.
Notes: Includes bibiliographical references and index.
