However, in medicine, there are a number of projects that may be important that may not be so easy to show a direct financial benefit for. For instance, a new lab testing machine that is more accurate…[Read more]

As one of the younger members of the class, my perception (and correct me if I am wrong) is that the younger physicians are starting to be more savvy about this than previously. I have had lots of open conversations with my…[Read more]

I have certainly seen it the other way, with physicians trying to add more and more. Sometimes this is due to an assumption that all endeavors are profitable. Other times, it seems that some of the drive for this is…[Read more]

The physician’s value is more than just salary and wRVU production. There is the other added benefits to the facility that also provide value to the hospital. For procedural specialties, it is the facility fees, etc…[Read more]

To my knowledge, they do not do individual statements for each physician. Additionally, this information is not available monthly. Most of the decision making is made by administrators, not the physicians, as far as I can tell.

As far as the statement for analysis…[Read more]

However, I think back to the many types of teams I have been a part of and can identify many of the good and bad things being discussed. Coming from a surgery/trauma background, many of the leadership styles in medicine I have seen are more…[Read more]

The A/R days looks like it is staying in the 30-40 day range, which to a novice likes me seems high.

On the other hand, the bad debt as a % of charges appears to be at a reasonable level.

I’m confused by the Net…[Read more]
