Medical schools and residency programs create superb clinicians but subpar business partners. That training deficit hurts our practices and the physicians themselves, so the responsibility falls to us. At the MGMA Leaders and DX conferences in 2022, attendees lauded our speakers’ diagnosis of the problem. Now they are back with steps toward a cure. With a panel of experts, real-world case studies, and seminar-style Q&A, you will discover how to quickly and effectively train physicians in the key operating fundamentals of a medical practice, the aspects of the revenue cycle that depend on clinicians’ understanding and diligence — including data analytics, financial reporting, quality measures, and workflow processes — and how all of that relates to physician compensation and practice productivity. For docs, operating “at the top of your licensure” includes effective partnering with the business side of their practice. Attendees can expect a brief recap of the acclaimed 2022 presentations and a panel discussion and presentation covering new strategies to level up your physician partnerships.
