The pros and cons of offering ancillary services
Before deciding whether to offer ancillary services such as anesthesia or diagnostic testing, physicians need to answer two questions: First, will the services improve patient care? Second, are the physicians interested in, and willing to manage, the implementation of those services? This article suggests some factors for physicians to consider, including upfront costs, service support costs and regulatory issues. A sidebar lists several ancillary services a practice could offer, depending on its specialties and needs. 

Navigating a shifting landscape — Solutions to top practice management challenges
New challenges for medical practices crop up whenever Medicare and Medicaid policy, or the economy, changes. Still, a handful of problems typically rise to the top. This article provides some ideas for solving these problems before they become overwhelming, including how to handle administrative burdens and recruit and retain skilled staff. Savvy doctors who recognize they are business owners as well as physicians will ensure the practice runs smoothly and profitably while continuing to offer high-quality patient care.

5 commonsense strategies for preventing physician discord

When physicians in the same practice disagree about how to handle job responsibilities, administrative issues or other matters, they can sow discord that can make the problems even worse. This article notes that it’s important to foresee this possibility and have strategies in place for resolving issues before the practice becomes completely dysfunctional. Emphasizing leadership, treating everyone equally and reviewing the payment system are among the actions to take that will increase everyone’s job satisfaction over the long term.
