Can you predict when a patient is going to no-show? Perhaps not perfectly, but you can with a lot more accuracy than you might think. I've split this blog update into two parts. Part II will follow after folks have had a few days to digest this one. ...
Executive summary: what do independent pediatric practices think about their resources for practice management guidance? Not much. SOAPM wins, hospitals lose, and the AAP is somewhere out there.
I am boarding my flight to Plano where I'll give my inaugural presentation entitled, "The Five Biggest Business Mistakes That Pediatricians Make." There might be a little room left, sign up if you're at TPS and might be interested. It's really a summ...
Recently, we had the bright idea to take a look at some of our UC Dashboard winners to learn if there were any patterns that we could identify as Best Practices in order to share with everyone else. Our first stab was more fruitful than I expected.
Ever find a dollar bill in your pocket? Bonus! Today's episode is just like that...I was searching through my pile of data files looking for something when I stumbled upon an analysis I put together last year but forgot to share: does appointment dep...

PCC's A1 Coding Resource, Jan, shared with me some interesting data today. She has kept track of her chart audits dating back to 2008 and wondered what the results looked like. The E&M results are fascinating.

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.
