I'll be speaking on Nov 4, 2011, from 3:15-4:30 (it'll be more like 5pm if I do it right), for the GA AAP chapter at their annual Pediatrics On The Parkway event.
I was recently introduced to Diane Lipton Dennis, the CEO at Lipton Health. Someone thought that I might appreciate her approach to pediatric medical care, which has been to put together a concierge program not for herself, but as a replicable model ...
I was speaking to Bob Chalmers, the ED at Physician's Alliance, when the issue of managing, monitoring, credentialing, and generally working with MAs came up. "Oh, I have just the stuff for you," he said.
I'm just going to call it the "SOAPM party." We can pretend it's all formal and official, but the fact is that it's simply a lot of fun even when the SOAPM executive committee members are dancing on the tables.
Start your planning for next month now. Care of Siouxsie, here's a list of all the "practice" related sessions in Boston. Highlights, though I'm sure I'll miss some, are below. Rumor has it that I might be speaking in one or more of these as a secret...
This is an unabashed ad for the AAP. Their marketing isn't running on all cylinders, so I'm giving them a boost by sharing this list of upcoming publications. Some of these publications are crucial and I don't want my clients to missed this them.
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.
