Having been responsible for Calisher & Associates, Inc. expanded
their services to include a medical practice management division in
2006, Kevin Calisher is fully aware of the best practices to follow in
order to ensure a practice is a success. The following tips should help
any new practice that is struggling to gain traction.
Improve Data Efficiency
During the course of caring for a patient, physicians will be required to take a large amount of data relating to both the patient and their condition. This can be a difficult task when using outdated or inefficient systems, so you should endeavor to keep your practice up-to-date and make use of any technology that improves the efficiency of data management.
Focus on Patients
The care you provide to your patients is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, most physicians simply have a desire to provide a high standard of care and wish to see their patients make a full recovery. However, it can also have a direct impact on the business side of the practice, as poor care will result in fewer patients making use of your services. As such, the practice should take a patient-centric approach at all times, ensuring their needs are met in the process.
Employee Engagement
One of the most underrated factors in the successful operation of a medical practice is the morale of the staff working there. Kevin Calisher recommends carrying out regular reports to determine how staff are engaged with the practice, using the results to improve working conditions where needed in order to offer a higher standard of service.
