What information do you need to see to drive growth and improve the bottom line in your practice? Identifying right information to be delivered at the right time to the right people can be a game changer for the performance of medical practices.
Business intelligence (BI) is not just a fancy name applied to the same old canned reports from disparate data sources. BI, when done correctly, drives practice performance. It delivers mission-critical data exactly when it is needed without manual sorting through pages and pages and columns and columns of data. True BI combines data from two or more discrete datasets to provide a more dimensional view of the data. For instance, combining upcoming appointments with historical clinical data or front desk collections with staffing data produces reports that can offer guidance to support real-time decisions and actions. This book is full of techniques to combine data to deliver actionable insights and drive performance that can be applied to each unique practice situation. The results lead to a more efficient, profitable, flexible, and responsive medical practice that delivers higher-quality patient care.
THIS BOOK WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE STRATEGIES TO: <ul>
<li>Design more efficient staff models</li> <li>Predict gaps in provider schedules</li> <li>Track and diagnose common errors for denied claims</li> <li>Optimize referral patterns</li> <li>Track delinquent patient payment</li> <li>Monitor Medicare quality codes</li> <li>And much more</li>
</ul>

We are what we think all day long. At least that's what Ralph Waldo Emerson said. If that is true, then you should really stop and ask yourself "what am I thinking about right now?" And if you take a moment to really do that, then the title of this book will make sense to you. So often we simply react to what is going on around us and while we do "think" when we react, we often do not "critically think," because if we did, we would respond and not react. When I was in the Navy, I was taught to "work the problem," which meant to stop, look around, use whatever tools were available to you and figure out a solution. In fact, that's pretty much what I do today; I am a problem solver. I find solutions to problems that are oftentimes complex and illusive and I often do it by just standing there; taking a breath, looking at the information that is available to me and then making the best decision possible. Does it always work out the way I would like? Nope. But the outcome is positive a whole lot more often than it is negative and that's because I have reduced the uncertainty around the problem.
The purpose of this book is to show you how to reduce the uncertainty around the decisions you make, thereby increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome. And the way to do this is to understand the process of critical thinking and evidence-based practice. Being an evidence-based thinker means being able to wade through the masses of information and data and bring to the table something that we can use to make better decisions. And evidence-based decisions will more often than not result in positive management outcomes. So, welcome to my world. 
And remember, don't do something, just stand there.

Don't Do Something, Just Stand There: A Primer for Evidence-Based Practice

Cohen, Frank

There are key market drivers that are creating challenges for medical practices. These include a changing regulatory environment, reimbursement challenges, larger consumer payments with decreasing margins for medical practices and patients recognizing that they have a voice in their care. Patients have higher expectations and expect more from their clinical providers. This affects the medical practice at almost every entry and care point. Your clinical staff is pivotal in working with your patients and physicians. It's also incredibly important to place the right level of staff for risk reduction and quality outcomes. Recruiting and hiring staff is not something the practice does on a regular basis. But when the need arises, having a step by step resource with the information you need in one place, will make some of these decisions less difficult. This Simple Guide is focused on clinical positions, from nursing to technicians and other ancillary staff, and is one in a series of hiring guides. Use this guide to: <ul> <li>Identify necessary subjective skills, such as empathy, that are balanced with good clinical practices</li> <li>Analyze tactical job descriptions, to ensure the candidate is reasonably focused on their core duties, working to the top of their license</li> <li>Implement interview basics with sample behavior-based questions that will provide insight to future performance</li> <li>Access immediate resources such as simple forms and templates that can be personalized for your practice</li> </ul> This is written for anyone who has a hand in the hiring and recruitment process. Use it as a valued resource for direction and support for placing and retaining great staff.
