Practice Management

Looking for a new job can be a stressful experience, especially if you are between jobs and need to find something quickly.  It’s important to balance the need to find any clinic that will hire you, with the desire to find one that fits your philosophy and skill set. 

Gone are the days of just going to the clinic that’s closest to home. Consumers of healthcare are becoming more active buyers, just like consumers in general. They do their research before they pick a provider, and that research most often starts online.

Finding the right clinician for your clinic can be a long and daunting process. But getting it right is essential. So here are a few tips to make this experience easier, more efficient, and ultimately – more successful.

Finding your motivation can be difficult some days.  Everyone feels frustrated or discouraged in their jobs at some point.  If this happens to you, there are a few things you can do to reinvigorate your day to day routine.

This year, we're celebrating Physical Therapy Month with your inspiration. Tell us what you love about being a PT, why you got started, or what keeps you motivated on the tough days.

Working as a ‘travel’ OT doesn’t necessarily mean you have to move around the country. If you live near several healthcare facilities, you could work local contracts from home.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) is an effective way to measure your patients’ satisfaction. It's easy to do, and helps predict your clinic's future growth.

While physician referrals may account for a large portion of your new patient acquisition, there is ample opportunity for your clinic to use testimonials to more proactively drive new business and improve overall patient retention.

To better measure the impact of the new reimbursements, we took a deeper look at the average changes in CPT code 97530 (and 97112) in multiple jurisdictions. Medicare now pays an average of $10.30 per unit more for 97530 than 97110.

We employ ATCs in industrial and clinical education settings. They provide a unique service, truly making a difference in keeping workers safe and educating clinicians worldwide. We are highly appreciative of the services that they and ALL Athletic Trainers provide.

First (and perhaps foremost), you must decide if you have the desire to expand the focus of your clinic.  This is awfully “touchy feely” for a business decision.  But, if you do not have deep seated motivation to grow your clinic in this way, don’t go there.
