So, the furnace broke some time last night, just in time for our first real snow. As I waited at home for the repair guy to arrive (his truck broke down on the way), I’ve had to be on the phone with my neck scrunched for the last hour. Which means no...
Yesterday, I asked if anyone knows how the awkward RBRVS GPCI system is developed. Siouxsie, of course, had the answer. In fact, more than answer. Those of you who are dinged by the GPCI breakdown should head Reed Tinsley’s quick review of it and the...
Over on PedTalk, Dr. Gewanter made a valiant attempt to post a copy of the Austim Speaks tool kit recently posted on their site. Until I can figure out how to let folks slip files into their posts on the new PedSource site, I’ll just gleefully post t...
I’m in the midst of some fun RVU analysis and I realized that I’d better get this announcement out stat! It’s just like our other PM/Coding events, though the AAP endorsement hasn’t happened yet (it should be a week or two). Sign up quickly, as we ex...
While I work on some cool RVU research, enjoy this in-depth interview with Susanne Madden over on HISTalk. Note her specific comments about pediatricians! It’s worth the 10 minutes, really.
I was privileged to receive a notice from the AAP’s Inner Sanctum about the recently released updates to our friendly RVU system and am sharing it below. Over the next few days, I will post some pediatric / RVU data relating to the updates that you c...
I had a great time speaking to Drs. Bravo and Rogu on their growing podcast, The Pediatric Lounge, to discuss the state of independent pediatricians and the use of data in a pediatric practice. They are cranking out episodes (which is a good thing) and anyone who supports independent pediatricians should tune in to their effort. What they are doing takes a tremendous amount of work and their guest list is amazing (well, besides me). They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
