This three-part series will discuss some of the leading strategies and priorities that drive thriving practices to success. All practices are unique, and different practices will have different types of problems to solve. This guide focuses on the commonly held strategies of successful healthcare practices. This guide is for all doctors: dentists, chiropractors, family physicians, surgeons, prosthodontists, dermatologists, opticians, and more.
Part 1: Small Changes as Seeds of Success
Working with many practices throughout the decades and striving to be a partner in the success of those practices, we've noticed a thing or two when it comes to the standard strategies these practices use on their way to success. One of the most universally applied methods we've seen is that successful practices set themselves up for success in the details. Small changes make a significant impact on the business side of healthcare practices, and they can also improve clinical outcomes. MacPractice has designed our business and productivity tools with these practices in mind. Solving small problems with intuitively-designed tools plants the seeds for success now.
We've curated a list of everyday practice problems easily solved with the right product, service, or feature from MacPractice.
Solve Your Billing Crisis
Many things can cause stress behind the scenes at a busy practice. Keeping up with CPT and ICD10 coding rules can be complicated and even a full-time job. The AAPC and AHIMA certified professional coders at MacPractice Business Services could alleviate the stress caused by your staff's short-term medical leave, vacations, and backlog. We can step in and help out on a short or long-term basis and have the expertise to decrease write-offs and increase revenue.
Upgrade Your Phone System and Save
MacPractice collaborates with Jive to deliver a seamless communication experience from inside MacPractice.
